Abstract

Cameroon’s economy largely depends on the agricultural sector. This economic sector made significant contribution by the traditional cash crops such as coffee, cocoa, cotton amongst others. The liberal creed that called and spends the withdrawal of the state sectors of economic production has been accompanied by a number of structural requirements. At Diang the crisis was accompanied by a drastic fall in prices paid to producers in 1989. This sudden collapse of 47.37 for Arabica coffee had serious consequences on farmers engaged in this sector. To cope with this problem of constant drop in prices, the Diang farmers were able to develop some alternative strategies.
