Abstract: The realization of a study on commercial DIY and the involvement of Arab women in the cultivation of okra in the city of Dabanga, in the department of Logone and Chari in Cameroon makes it possible to characterize this production in this precarious environment. The objective of this article is to study the mode of production and marketing of okra cultivation by the Arab women of Dabanga, the challenges and the prospects they face to get out of this commercial tinkering. Surveys and observations show that more than half of the households in the city of Dabanga practice agriculture for family self-consumption or the sale intervenes to fill certain deficits of other products. Okra cultivation occupies two women out of three during the rainy season and one woman out of two during the dry season in the commune of Dabanga. Cultivated in a traditional and anarchic way, okra can be found in the markets of surrounding towns such as Maltam, Goulfé, Doublé, Kousseri and in those of neighboring countries such as Ndjamena in Chad.
