Module 1Overview: Rice in Africadue to the expansion of rice production into marginal areas in WestAfrica where most production occurs (Table 1).Table 1. Estimation of rice production trend by each rice productionecology in West Africa during 1984 and 1999/2003Area Production Yield (t/ha)(million ha) (million tonnes/year)1984 1999/2003 1984 1999/2003 1984 1999/2003Rainfedlowland 1.5 1.8 0.75 3.4 1.4 2.0Irrigatedlowland 0.23 0.56 0.64 1.9 2.8 3.4Total 2.6 4.7 3.4 7.7 1.3 1.6Source: CCER on Integrated Genetic and Natural Resources Management, Gurdev Kush,Toshiyuki Wakatsuki and Glitho Isabelle Adole, 22 January – 10 February 2006. Cotonou, Benin:WARDA.Another challenge is the inferior quality of domestic rice vis à visimported rice. Domestic rice is of uneven quality, has impurities,and is usually sold in bulk in unbranded 5kg bags at a discount of30% to 50% compared to imported rice. There are exceptionsto this, as in Guinea (Conakry) and in Mali, where local rice (forcertain varieties) receives a price premium. In order to improvequality of local rice, institutional innovations are needed that makeproducers more responsive to end-user requirements and attachmuch more importance to milling and cleaning, and to identitypreservation (no mixing of different rice varieties).3

Evolution of paddy rice yields in sub-Saharan Africa (1961–2006)The institutional environment for the development of rice productionin SSA represents a third challenge. It is gradually improving as aresult of NEPAD’s (New Partnership for Africa Development) focuson agriculture with the CAADP (Comprehensive Africa AgriculturalDevelopment Programme), the African Rice Initiative (ARI), andefforts by WARDA and its many partners, particularly its Council ofMinisters (COM). How to create and support effective institutionsis a major challenge.The truth of the matter is that in SSA growth in rice demand as productivity gains are likely to come in small increments due to thediverse nature of Africa’s cropping systems (Balasubramanian etal., 2007). Yet the potential for growth in the African rice sector is4
