The farmer of KANKU lives on agriculture and is disadvantaged by the institutional context, the lack of support infrastructure for his activity and finds himself in difficulty to manage and market his production. This study was carried out in order to evaluate the management and marketing mode of this KANGU farmer's harvest products in order to identify the factors that can enable him to better manage this production and make better use of it. A structured survey was carried out in 5 localities of the KANGU group. This survey used simple and statistical random sampling methods, accompanied by empirical analysis for data collection. A statistical analysis was carried out for the processing of the raw data. After this analysis, it appears that this farmer produces for two purposes in particular self-consumption and marketing. A large proportion, more than 59% of the production of basic commodities, is destined for marketing and barter with 76.1% is the mode of marketing most practiced in this environment by the farmer despite being unfavorable for the farmer. The lack of support infrastructure (specific market, evacuation routes, etc.) is what compels the producer to resort to this mode of exchange.

This study reports the results of research on the production and marketing of market gardening in Lubumbashi. The approach used is the analysis of the situation by comparing the level of production, that is to say the crop yields with the flow of prices observed on the market during a period of 12 months spread over two years, from September 2018 to August 2019. From these results, it appears that the areas allocated to market garden crops are small: between a maximum of 0.1 ha per member in associations and 0.8 ha for farmers. The average yields obtained on all the crops concerned vary between 12.3 tons of pepper per hectare in an association against 13.5 tons per hectare on a farm and 33.4 tons per hectare of cabbage in an association against 37.7 tons per hectare in a farm. In addition, market gardening is mostly seasonal in the different sites: more intense in the dry season. On the market, demand for vegetables is permanent over time with peak periods in the rainy season, between November and February. The potato is the product that sells best, its price varies between 1810.5 Congolese Francs and 3143.4 Congolese Francs per kg, while the cabbage has the lowest price of a kg which has varied between 950 and 985 Congolese francs during the observation periode.
