Abstract: This article aims to identify strategic management practices based on the coopetition strategy between farmers who cohabit in Togolese agricultural cooperative societies (SCAs). Few studies are interested in the factors that push companies in the social and solidarity economy to use coopetition practices. In addition, there is little work on the forms of coopetition adopted by this type of organisation, particularly in the agricultural sector in the countries of the South. It is therefore a question of shedding light on the coopetition practices adopted in the specific context of Togo. The qualitative research method was adopted. This approach enabled thirty-two (32) farmers to be interviewed. The interviews took place in thirteen (13) SCAs located in the maritime region. Thematic discourse analysis enabled us to group the interventions into three themes. The results show that the practice of coopetition in SCAs translates into a competitive approach of differentiation and a cooperative approach based on organisational learning. Key words: Coopetition; agricultural cooperative; strategic management.
