“…But these women ‘back in the village’ are also motivated by substantial and diversified investments, the structural determinants around cocoa cultivation, and policy: declining cocoa prices since 1988, falling yields from ageing cocoa farms, political and military crises, and new land-related issues . These profound ecological, economic, and political changes of the 2000s generate or accelerate the process of ‘return’ of wives to the home village – and the spectacular boom of cashew cultivation in Côte d’Ivoire, in which women play an important role, for example in the groups claiming an Abron/Koulango origin, along the Ghanaian border. …”
