In Côte d'Ivoire, with Decree No. 97-19 of January 15, 1997, the national territory is subdivided into 33 major regions. The one located in the Center-West of Côte d'Ivoire is characterized by animal protein distribution networks. With the means of communication, they leave the rural hinterlands (immediate and distant) to reach the town of Daloa, the capital of the Haut-Sassandra region. Food security has prompted the creation of modern farms in peri-urban areas to meet the enormous needs of city dwellers for poultry meat. Notwithstanding, poultry farming in peasant habitats regularly offers traditional poultry (chickens and guinea fowl) to Daloa users. The objective of this study is to know the distribution network of traditional poultry in Daloa. The documentary research, the direct observation and the interview sessions with the actors animating the said distribution network, made it possible to have the data and information necessary to carry out this article. Thus, two supply zones rely on the means of communication to supply the city of Daloa with traditional poultry. With the advent of the avian flu virus A (H5N1) epidemic in 2015, the street sale of traditional poultry intensified in this capital of the Haut-Sassandra region. This activity thus constitutes one of the sources of acquisition of pecuniary gains for the peasants whose annual income is still derisory.
