EFFICACITE DES INSTITUTIONS LOCALES ORGANISATRICES DES MARCHES LOCAUX DE LA RESSOURCE FOURRAGERE BIOLOGIQUE

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to analyze customary and modern institutions, which define the conditions access to the OFR (Organic Forage Resource), and to evaluate their efficiency. It fits a new theoretical framework of calling for safeguarding common pool resource and is based on the imperfect functioning of local markets of the common-pool property. The analysis is funded on the data of the field survey. First, the play rules does not changes for decades and not fit perfectly the framework of market economy: discrimination too often of the competitors belonged to the same community, adopted with purpose of preserving resource and tradition especially, of controlling community and economic advantages, market pricing of the OFR destabilized, inefficient and harmful with whole of the pastoral system. Then pastoralists pursuit often an annual yield between 15 and 20 % which can only be obtained by the capture of the OFR and others natural resources. Finally, the physical parameters and the increasing pressure on the OFR cause its degradation, in spite of community management and accentuates its shortage.
