In this thesis, I explore and analyze black cardamom (Amomum tsao-ko) commodity chains from cultivation to consumption, as well as the rural livelihoods that are connected to these chains in southeastern Yunnan province, China. Black cardamom is a perennial non-timber forest product (NTFP) that grows at high elevations in East and Southeast Asian sub-tropical ecosystems. Black cardamom seedpods are a common spice used in both traditional Yunnan cuisine and in traditional Chinese medicine. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork, completed during the summer of 2015, I investigate the cultivation practices of ethnic minority and Han Chinese cultivators living in Yunnan's Maguan county, investigating how these rural farmers grow and sell their cardamom to vendors and wholesalers in the province. Moreover, I analyze how cultivators at different scales work to maintain sustainable livelihoods, and how farmers interact with local government agricultural bureaus with regards to extension services. I then follow the black cardamom as it leaves the mountainsides, transported by wholesalers from Yunnan and from other provinces in China. I trace these commodity chains through the provincial capital Kunming until they eventually reach larger domestic and international markets. During each stage of analysis, I assess the roles of ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic background in market access and transactions, as well as government attitudes towards cultivators and the black cardamom trade. I find that while the cardamom trade is a core component of many rural livelihoods in the area, market profits, access to resources, and government aid is not equal across the industry. Furthermore, I unearth cultural and social tensions that maintain a static social hierarchy within the industry, which eventually pushes poorer stakeholders out of the industry and lets wealthier stakeholders dictate prices along the commodity chains.

520 $a Dans cette these, j'explore et analyse les chaines de commodite du cardamome noire (Amomum tsao-ko) debutant au cultivateur jusqu'au consommateur et en plus, les moyens de subsistances rurales qui sont connectes a ses chaines dans le sud-est du province Yunnan, Chine. Cardamome noir est une produit de la foret non-timbre et vivace (NTFP) qui grandit seulement dans les elevations hautes dans les ecosystemes sous-tropicaux de l'est et le sud-est. Les graines du cardamome noire sont une epice commun utilise dans la cuisine traditionnelle du Yunnan et dans les medecins Chinois. Utilisant mon travail de terrain quantitatif complete durant l'ete de 2015, j'ai fait du recherche sur les methodes de cultivation des minorites ethniques et les cultivateurs Chinois Han qui vivent dans la ville de Maguan, situe en Yunnan. Recherchant comment ses cultivateurs rurales poussent et vends leur cardamome aux vendeurs et les compagnies de Yunnan et des autres provinces de Chine. J'ai trace ses chaines de commodite jusqu'au province capitale de Kunming avant qu'ils trouvent finalement les marches domestique et internationale. Durant chaque etape de mon analyse, j'ai evalue les roles de l'ethnicite, le gendre et le contexte socio economique de l'acces au marche et les transactions, ainsi que les comportements des gouvernements sur les cultivateurs et la commerce du cardamome noire. Je trouve que meme si le commerce du cardamome noire est une composant principal aux moyens de subsistance rurales, les profits du marche, l'acces aux ressources et l'aide gouvernementale n'est pas egale partout dans l'industrie. En plus, j'ai aussi trouve des tensions culturelles et sociales qui soutient une hierarchie sociale statique dedans l'industrie, qui est utilise a pousser les pauvres parties prenantes hors de l'industrie et permets les parties prenantes plus riche a dicter les prix dedans les chaines de commodite.
