While the massive trade in agricultural land is criticized by NGOs and businesses who see it as land grabbing, international organizations such as the World Bank view it as an opportunity for development for countries selling or leasing their land, illustrating the " win- win" principle. Yet, land marketing seems to have a major impact on local populations and development gains are difficult to see. Is the massive trade in agricultural land really an opportunity for development? The aim of this thesis is to make the connection between massive land trade and the possibility of development in difficulty, to know if after ten years of the offer of magnitude of the phenomenon the trade of agricultural land. It really succeeded in driving the development of the areas where the land was marketed. Our approach, which consists of an analysis of secondary quantitative and qualitative data, leads us to question the link between the massive trade in agricultural land and development. Notably due to a legal framework that serves the local populations. Finally the elite’s state take advantage of the price as a result of a lack of transparency and development to defend their interests.
