The cultivation of cotton has provided an efficient infrastructure for producers in Cameroon and Chad for many generations. However, changes in the cotton industry in recent years (reduced governmental involvement, ongoing crisis) are highlighting the limits of this infrastructure, which is essentially based on disseminating technical information. Producers must now manage the services they need and improve their technical and economic output to keep pace with expanding markets. The issue of support initiatives for farmers is examined, and in particular the work of the Conseil à l'exploitation familiale (CEF) in the cotton-growing regions of these two countries. The CEF supports farmers' efforts to develop conceptual skills in concrete and contemporary subject areas, followed by subjects requiring future planning and conceptualization. A flexible, step-by-step approach is initially used with groups of farmers expressing interest. This approach has improved production methods as well as farmer-seller relations. Qualified staff and appropriate funding are needed to enable development groups to adopt these programs. CEF is designed for organized, stable industries
