44. Craven, K.; A.H. Tuluy. "Rice Policy in Senegal." Stanford C.A.:
Stanford University Food Research institute, July 1979, 50 p.;
tables (Report prepared for USAID).
Paper analyzes the evolution of the rice sector in Senegal.
Describes the historical changes that have influenced rice
policy and evaluates the impact of major policies, production
investment, input subsidy, producer price, consumer price and
trade policies on overall economic objectives. The expansion of
domestic rice production is seen as requiring an improvement in
production methods and a reduction of marketing, milling and
production costs. The s-udy concludes that an expansion of
domestic production must be seriously weighed against the alternative
of rice imports, and that the Senegalese government might
consider policies other than increased rice production in order to
reduce rice imports.
