This study has been conducted to assess the influence of land constraints on the modes of access to farmland in the Couffo Region.The work has been carried out by means of desk research, field surveys of farm operators, landowners, local elected representatives and officers of the Land Administration department. The surveys are based on samples collected at random and after thinking. The collection and the processing of data related to quantity and quality made it possible to come up with diagrams and tables containing a summary of findings.The data reveal that while people used to access farmland through inheritance and grants, nowadays they have access to it by purchasing, leasing or borrowing. This study draws the conclusion that landowners operate their own farming system and make investments on their farm when they inherit or purchase it. However, this is often limited by subsequent conflicts. 33% of land related disputes are due to purchased land, while 45% result from palm tree contracts (though this mode of access is disappearing). Most conflicts recorded in the tribunals are related to land. It is therefore pressing to take measures to secure tenure of land.
