The purpose of this study is to understand the organization of banana transport and its main related problems. The study was carried out on a sample of 200 traders and 50 transporters in Mouyondzi. Excel 2010 and Sphinx V.5 software were used for the analysis of primary data. Secondary data were also collected and analyzed. The results obtained show that the main direct players in the transport of bananas are transporters, handlers, traders and parking lot managers. Social capital is mobilized by traders during supply and transport, most of whom are from Mouyondzi and its surroundings. The proportion of 75% of the banana diet flows from traders comes from the Louboto - Kiniangui and Mbello - Moussengué axes. The two main destinations for bananas transported to Mouyondzi are the cities of Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire. Group taxis, trucks and vans are the main means of transport used. Banana loss issues, lack of maintenance of agricultural roads and tracks and police harassment are the main problems in banana road transport.

Abstract: (french)
L’étude visait à comprendre l’organisation du transport de la banane ainsi que ces principaux problèmes. L’étude a été réalisée auprès d’un échantillon de 200 commerçants et 50 transporteurs à Mouyondzi. Les logiciels Excel 2010 et Sphinx V.5 ont été utilisés pour le dépouillement des données primaires. Des données secondaires ont été également collectées puis analysées. Les résultats obtenus montrent que les principaux acteurs directs du transport de la banane sont les transporteurs, les manutentionnaires, les commerçants et chefs de parking. Le capital social est mobilisé par les commerçants lors de l’approvisionnement et le transport, ces derniers sont pour la plupart originaires de Mouyondzi et ses environs. La proportion de 75 % des flux de régimes de banane des commerçants provient des axes Louboto – Kiniangui et Mbello – Moussengué. Les deux principales destinations de la banane transportée à Mouyondzi sont les villes de Brazzaville et Pointe-Noire. Les taxis collectifs, les camions et camionnettes sont les principaux moyens de transport utilisés. Les problèmes de pertes de banane, l’absence d’entretien des routes et pistes agricoles ainsi que les tracasseries policières sont les principaux problèmes du transport routier de la banane.
