Abstract: The aim of this article is to propose a paradigm for the promotion and distribution of agricultural innovations, based on public-private partnership (PPP). It is based on the case of improved seeds in Cameroon. The PPP here is established in the light of the seed law. It shows that the faulty part of the improved seed supply chain runs from distribution to use. In addition, data from a recent survey on cassava and maize production are used, with the estimation of a logit model, to assess the factors explaining the propensity to buy improved seeds. The results show that a hypothetical PPP has a positive and significant effect on the willingness to buy improved seeds. Based on the results obtained, a number of economic policy proposals are formulated.
