Abstract: The paper aims to characterize forms of contracting in the cashew sector in Collines' Department of Benin. For this purpose, data were collected through 270 producers and 122 buyers (contractors and non-contractors) was randomly selected in research area. Statistical analysis has shown that most contracts are informal and are based mostly on informal, intermediate and multi-stakeholder models. Associated with these models, the types of contracts identified and most practiced are: the orchard maintenance contract signed by the producers; direct contact between Producer's Organization and buyers practiced by buyers in the research area. In fact, individuals (48.4%) and collectors (29%) opt for the informal model and producers (66.7%) for the multi-party contract model. In addition, contract Kg prices (548.87 FCFA / kg at production link level and 586.81 FCFA / kg at the level of the marketing link) are lower than non-contract Kg prices. Thus, it is necessary to study the existing business links between the actors involved in such contractual procedures in order to balance the relationship between the actors.
