Application of the ELECTRE I and ELECTRE IS Method to Optimize Maize Seed Selection in Cameroon: A Multi-Criteria Approach

Abstract


This study aims to help Cameroonian farmers choose the best maize seeds to improve their yields. To achieve this, we evaluated 15 varieties based on five essential criteria: cycle length, yield per hectare, cob quality, stem height, and grain weight. Using the ELECTRE I and ELECTRE IS multi-criteria decision-making methods, we selected four particularly high-performing varieties: CLH103, CMS8602, CMS9015, and CMS 8501. These seeds offer a good balance between productivity and adaptation to local conditions, with potential yields of up to 10 tons per hectare. In-depth analyses have confirmed the reliability of these results, assuring farmers of a robust and effective choice. These recommendations can help improve food security and the profitability of farms in Cameroon

Keywords
