L'objectif : Dans ce papier, nous avons analysé les déterminants de la productivité agricole dans les pays de l'Afrique subsaharienne. Conception/méthodologie/approche : La méthode des moments généralisés (GMM) a été retenue pour l'analyse des données. L'étude a porté sur 27 pays de l'Afrique subsaharienne et couvre la période allant de 2001 à 2018 Résultats : Les résultats montrent que le niveau de productivité actuelle à un effet positif et significatif sur le niveau de productivité future dans les pays de l'Afrique subsaharienne. Cela stipule que si ces pays veulent réaliser des gains substantiels de productivité pour les périodes à venir, ils doivent dès lors commencer à améliorer leur niveau de productivité actuelle. Les résultats montrent également que le crédit accordé au secteur agricole et les infrastructures permettent d'améliorer la productivité agricole. Les pays de l'Afrique subsaharienne devraient accroître les investissements dans les infrastructures et renforcer les mécanismes de financement du secteur agricole notamment à travers le développement des crédits intrants agricoles pour les petits producteurs. Originalité/valeur : Afin d'analyser les déterminants de la productivité agricole dans les pays de l'Afrique subsaharienne, nous intégrons la valeur retardée de la productivité agricole comme variable explicative. L'existence d'une telle relation explique pourquoi la productivité agricole n'a guère évolué dans les pays de l'Afrique subsaharienne d'une part et d'autre part la forte proportion de la main d'œuvre au fil du temps dans le secteur agricole de ces pays contrairement aux pays développés.(abstrakt oryginalny)

Purpose : In this paper, we analysed the determinants of agricultural productivity in sub-Saharan African countries. Design/methodology/approach : The generalized method of moments (GMM) was used for data analysis. The study focused on 27 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and covers the period from 2001 to 2018. Findings : The results show that the level of current productivity has a positive and significant effect on the level of future productivity in the countries of the sub-Saharan Africa. This states that if these countries want to achieve substantial productivity gains in future periods, they must begin to improve their current productivity levels. The results also show that credit granted to the agricultural sector and infrastructure improve agricultural productivity. Sub-Saharan African countries should increase investments in infrastructure and strengthen financing mechanisms for the agricultural sector, particularly through the development of agricultural input credits for small producers. Originality/value : In order to analyse the determinants of agricultural productivity in sub-Saharan African countries, we integrate the lagged value of agricultural productivity as an explanatory variable. The existence of such a relationship explains why agricultural productivity has hardly changed in the countries of sub-Saharan Africa on the one hand and on the other hand the high proportion of the workforce over time in the agricultural sector of these countries unlike developed countries.(original abstract)
