Agricultural Crisis in a Mining State : Gaboon.
A cycle of mining industry began in Gaboon twenty years ago roughly. But the spectacular growth of the extracting activity did not go with an expansion of agriculture; on the contrary, an increasing food dépendance and a deep decay of the rural world, worsened by the lack of population on the Gabooneese soil, have been recorded. Three facts paralyzed the rural development which is in other respects running short of human and financial means and for which a true political will is lacking: little affinity of people for tillage, archaism of cultural methods, inorganized commercialization. So as to remedy the agricultural crisis, the developers have decided in favor of the introduction of industrial cultivations, highly capitalistic and mechanized; this results in the introduction of wage-earning classes in agriculture, but could not vivify an agonizing rural society.
