Abstract: Despite the importance of rice in Ivorians's diet, and thus in the economy of the Ivory Coast, self-sufficiency in rice production, until recently, has received little attention from economists and statisticians. Agronomists, sociologists and anthropologists have examined in some detail the cultural practices, soils, land barriers, tools and basic techniques used by the Ivorian farmers. But they have failed to produce much needed basic information related to crop acreage, yields, prices and other areas which are most relevant for policy formulation. This paper analyzes the rice demand and supply in the Ivory Coast, and attempts to estimate both price and income elasticities of demand, and price elasticity of supply.
