ABSTRACT
Iron
deficiency anemia is a real public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. Borgou
department is one which is touched in Benin by this disease. The main reason
for the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in this department is the low
bioavailability of iron in sorghum which is one of the most widely consumed
grain in the middle. To fight against this disease, we must dehull and iron
fortified sorghum prior to milling. In this context and as part of a project, a
platform of mechanical dehulling and iron fortification has been installed in
Thian, a village in the Parakou township, Borgou department. This study,
conducted in this village, was made on 120 ''kitchen responsible'' from 120
households consuming dibou (sorghum paste) and was to analyze the
determinants of willingness of households to the adoption of this innovation,
determinants of their willingness to pay (WTP) for operations of mechanical
dehulling and iron fortification of sorghum and to evaluate the financial
profitability of this dehulling and fortification activity. The tool used to
analyze the determinants of predisposition is the Logit model. The one used to
analyze the determinants of willingness to pay is the linear regression model.
To evaluate the financial profitability, the cash flow method was used.
The results showed that the main determinants of willingness
to adopt the mechanical dehulling and iron fortification of sorghum are the
income of the respondent, his membership in the pilot phase of the project, the
perceived complexity of the procedure of mechanical dehulling and of iron
fortification of sorghum, the compatibility of the innovation with the norms
and values of his household and the perception she has of her social status
after the adoption of innovation. As for the WTP, it is mainly influenced by
membership of the respondent in the pilot phase of the project and the average
amount of sorghum dedicated to consumption in the household. NPV calculated
using a discount rate of 12 % was negative. The activity of mechanical shelling
and iron fortification of sorghum is not financially viable. However, the IRR
amounting to 9 % shows that with an opportunity cost of capital less than 9 %,
this can be financially profitable activity in the absence of any disturbance
of the economic environment.
Keywords: adoption, innovation,
willingness to pay, Logit model, linear regression model, NPV, IRR.
