s<strong>et</strong>back ( r = 0.92**, n = 12) and consistency ( r = 0.91**) and cooked rice<br />
hardness ( r = 0.63**, n = 25). Cooked rice hardness further correlated<br />
with Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back ( r = 0.83**, n = 9), consistency ( r = 0.88**), and<br />
peak viscosity ( r = 0.69*), grain width ( r = –0.55**, n = 21), and protein<br />
content ( r = 0.51**, n = 25). Amylograph peak viscosity correlated with<br />
grain width ( r = –0.81**, n = 9) and grain length ( r = 0.84**). Protein<br />
content <strong>al</strong>so correlated negatively with grain width ( r = –0.58**, n = 22).<br />
Ghana<br />
G<br />
hana produced 74,000 t <strong>of</strong> rough rice in 1989 (FAO 1990b).<br />
Annu<strong>al</strong> per capita supply <strong>of</strong> milled rice was 8 kg in 1979-<br />
81 (FAO 1984) and 8 kg in 1986-88 (FAO 19904. Of the nine<br />
popular and farmers' field samples, eight had intermediate AC and<br />
one had high AC; <strong>al</strong>l had low-intermediate GT; and seven had hard GC<br />
(IITA 1985).<br />
<strong>Rices</strong> from Ghana had high-intermediate AC, intermediate GT,<br />
and variable GC (Table 8). Ghanaian rices obtained from and an<strong>al</strong>yzed<br />
at IITA, including TOS 7460-7474, had either high or intermediate AC,<br />
intermediate-low GT, and medium-s<strong>of</strong>t GC (Appendix, Table 8). TOS<br />
7460-7474 mostly had intermediate AC, but TOS 10601-10640 mainly<br />
had high AC. GR19 <strong>al</strong>so had high AC and low GT. Only Nickerie had<br />
intermediate AC among the 1965 samples. Five mark<strong>et</strong> samples <strong>of</strong> raw<br />
rice, obtained through West Africa Rice Development Association<br />
(WARDA), in Accra and Ashiama had 24-28% AC, low GT, and<br />
medium-hard GC (IRRI 1990, unpubl. data). It included Ghanaian<br />
vari<strong>et</strong>y DS3. Loc<strong>al</strong> rices had protein contents <strong>of</strong> 6.1 and 8.4%. Four<br />
imported rices were raw, but three <strong>of</strong> four loc<strong>al</strong> samples were parboiled.<br />
<strong>Grain</strong> length was mainly medium or short, but medium shape<br />
predominated over bold.<br />
<strong>Grain</strong> length and width were significantly correlated ( r = –0.74**,<br />
n = 15). Alk<strong>al</strong>i spreading v<strong>al</strong>ue correlated significantly with Amylograph<br />
s<strong>et</strong>back ( r = 0.94**, n = 7) and consistency ( r = 0.96**). <strong>Grain</strong> width<br />
<strong>al</strong>so correlated with GC ( r = 0.58*, n = 15).<br />
Ivory Coast<br />

vory<br />
Coast’s rough rice production was 650,000 t in 1989 (FAO<br />
1990b). Annu<strong>al</strong> per capita consumption <strong>of</strong> milled rice was 59 kg in<br />
1979-81 (FAO 1984), 64 kg in 1987 (RCMD 1989), and 58 kg in 1986-<br />
