Abstract
In order to contribute to the improvement of crop productivity in the agroforestry system of the Batéké plateau, a typology of farms was carried out in the sites of Mampu and Ibi village, pioneer sites of agroforestry activities in the Batéké plateau. Surveys were conducted from June to August 2022 on a sample of 183 farmers chosen according to their voluntary participation. Using the R Console Software, multivariate analyses by hierarchical ascending classification (HAC), using the hierarchical clustering method, were performed to determine the different types of holdings. The results revealed the existence of three types of farms on the site. With regard to the characteristics of these types of farms, the duration of fallow, the number of varieties used, the duration of use of cuttings, the number of weedings, the number of tubers per plant and the yield are the main parameters of their disparity. In terms of yield, it is 9.5 tonnes/ha, 13 tonnes/ha and 10 tonnes/ha respectively for type 1, type 2 and type 3 farms.
