It is based on a field survey of 50 individuals chosen using the purposive sampling method. The data collected was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Gary Becker’s economic theory of crime and Raymond Boudon’s rational choice theory have made it possible to understand the object of study. The hypotheses tested are verified because in terms of results, it appears that raw cashew nut buyers are always attracted by the remunerative prices offered by Ghanaian buyers or exporters based in Ghana and then voluntarily transgress the ordinance repressing the illicit export of cashew nuts. to attract the attention of rulers. The Ivorian rulers would therefore benefit from taking incentive measures to encourage the sale of cashew on Ivorian territory and work to improve the regulatory texts according to social evolution.
