Survey data reveals low education levels for coconut farmers in Grand-Lahou, which may have influenced the increase of CILY incidence. Both women and men farmers require access to funds, resistant planting material, modern farming equipment and supplies, new technologies for disease control, and training to make farms sustainable and profitable. The implementation of coconut intercropping systems with alternative food and cash crops should be encouraged.application/pdfenCOCONUT LETHAL YELLOWING DISEASEGRAND-LAHOUACCESS TO RESOURCESEDUCATIONSMALLHOLDERSGENDER ROLESSOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEYSACCESS TO SERVICESHOUSEHOLD EXPENSESIVORY COASTSOUTH OF SAHARAJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
