International audience. The issue of soil fertility management is increasingly being addressed at various scientific symposia and symposia. This recurrence is explained by the fact that land is the primary factor of production in agriculture and that it is important to preserve it. This study is part of the evaluation of the impact of soil fertility management methods on cereal production in the African and Asian continents. For this purpose, this study was based on the existing literature on the topic. Scientific documents have been obtained from various libraries and research sites. The analysis of the information collected shows that soil fertility management methods vary very little from one continent to another. In general, grain producers from both the African and Asian continents are opting for a change in the technical production routes, the association of livestock with agriculture, and the promotion of organic production. One of the management styles of African producers is fallow. These management methods have a negative as well as a positive impact on cereal production. Like other modes, organic production induces low yields and requires the producer a large work force. At the same time, the crop products obtained can be stored longer without any decomposition. It is therefore imperative to identify new management approaches or to develop the management methods used by producers in order to reduce the negative impact of these modes on cereal production.
