Abstract: 

Various initiatives are being undertaken to combat poverty in rural areas. These include the establishment of cooperatives and the construction of water infrastructure. This study had the privilege of focusing on an econometric model based on the hypothesis that there is a correlation between productivity and the cropping system developed in the hydro-agricultural perimeter of the commune of Korsimoro. To do this, producers' cooperatives were targeted. The sample was made up of 33.53% male farmers and 66.47% female farmers, of whom 56.73% owned plots of land and 43.27% did not. The aim was to identify the link between productivity and the type of cropping system practised within the developed perimeter.The results show that mixed farming is the main cropping system practised in the developed area. It evolves according to a seasonal calendar, local consumption and marketing. Productivity and polyculture are strongly correlated in terms of the coefficient of determination. The level of equipment remains relatively low ; the use of phytosanitary products is real ; the assistance of technical staff is insufficient ; the lack of financial means for the purchase of inputs are determining factors that negatively influence agricultural productivity in the Korsimoro hydro-agricultural perimeter.
