Abstract

The agropole approach, a form of PPP applied to agrifood-based spatial development initiatives and promoted prominently in Africa, has emerged in recent years as a major dynamic that is changing the articulation of food value chains. As academic literature analyzing policies actually implemented under the agropoles approach remains scarce, this paper offers an original review of agropoles-related policies across three cases (Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire and Senegal). We provide evidence that public action aims primarily at fostering the business environment for attracting large foreign investments policies. While policies are composed in great part of transfers through fiscal exonerations, measures to support agri-food activities and the inclusion of value chains' actors are significantly less prevalent. Such strategy is explained by the neoliberal approach underlying growth poles, and the structural budget limitations of West African States. It however represents risks of unbalanced negotiation power, job destruction and environmental degradation.
