Abstract

A specific project for the training and technical assistance of small pineapple farmers has been completed by CIRAD-FHLOR since 1981. This effort catalyzed significant improvements regarding intensification and organization (creation of an association: ASP A) and resulted in a regular increase in productivity. About 50 growers, who together manage more tlian 100 hectares of land, produce about 20% of the total volume of pineapple on the island. Since 1991, SUAD (a government agricultural development service) and CIRAD-FHLOR/ASP A have collaborated to continue assisting those farmers. Regular form visits and meetings on predefined subjects provide efficient technical assistance. Moreover, an economic suive)' of those farms was done, especially by studying a panel of reference plots. Besides tlte collection of numerous data, this situation helps fanners create cITcctivc personal development programs.
