Abstract

This article deals with the practice of extra-agricultural activities in Folona, Mali. The main objective is to determine the link between migration and local non-agricultural diversification. Based on the estimation of a multivariate tobit model, we characterized the link between the two social phenomena. The estimate shows that there is simultaneity between migration and local non-agricultural diversification. The migration ratio has a negative and significant impact on the ratio of local non-agricultural diversification. The increase in the number of migrants in the household discourages the practice of local non-agricultural diversification in order to support agricultural production.
