Rice in West Africa

U.S. Department of Agriculture and Agency for International Development

No 404193, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to gather more comprehensive and up-to- date information than was previously available on the nature of obstacles inhibiting increased rice production and marketing in West Africa. Despite apparently favorable ecological conditions for indigenous production of rice, the region has been importing rice in increasing volume to meet growing consumption demands. Many Studies have been made of one or another aspect of the rice situation in West Africa. The Team took advantage of these resources to check its own conclusions and to incorporate many of the previous findings into this report.
