 Abstract 

 

Despite the many problems in the cotton sector, producers seem to have some motivation to continue growing cotton. To better understand these motivations, data were collected from 80 people in four villages in the commune of N'Dali in northern Benin. Descriptive statistics and discourse analysis were used to analyse the data. The results showed that the constraints faced by farmers are related to a lack of inputs, the length of time it takes to pay cotton funds, the selling price considered low by some producers, and constraints such as difficulties related to the transport of inputs and cotton, ploughing, the lack of manpower, the poor quality of inputs, etc. The results also showed that producers are motivated for the most part by the control of market risks and uncertainties, the very remunerative prices for other producers, the ease of access to inputs, the level of adoption of agricultural technical innovations, the control of the production itinerary, the ease of access to credit and the organisation of the commodity chain. Our The results will guide the authorities in charge of the commodity chain in their intervention efforts.
