Suakoko 8, well-suited for cultivation in inland v<strong>al</strong>ley swamps with<br />
iron toxicity, covered 2,000 ha in 1978 (D<strong>al</strong>rymple 1986). Suakoko 9, a<br />
selection from LAC23, that is suited for upland culture, covered an<br />
estimated 80,000 ha, replacing LAC23 in the early 1980s. Two mark<strong>et</strong><br />
samples had intermediate AC and GT (RCMD 1987). Twenty-one<br />
popular and farmers' field rices had intermediate AC, low GT, and<br />
medium-hard GC (IITA 1985).<br />
Liberian rices had <strong>al</strong>l AC types, mainly low GT, and variable GC<br />
(Table 8). The 1981 samples and 1988 INGER rices from Liberia had<br />
variable AC, GT, and GC (Appendix, Table 8). IRAT13 and M55 had<br />
low AC, LAC23 and Moroberekan had intermediate AC, and the rest<br />
had high AC. M55 gave the lowest Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back and consistency<br />
and the s<strong>of</strong>test cooked rice. <strong>Grain</strong> length was long or medium<br />
except for short-grained Mahsuri. <strong>Grain</strong> shape was mostly medium.<br />
Five mark<strong>et</strong> samples <strong>of</strong> raw rice from Fend<strong>al</strong>l obtained through WARDA<br />
had 7-11 % protein, 26-29% AC, low GT, and hard or medium GC (IRRI<br />
1990, unpubl. data). One loc<strong>al</strong> sample was parboiled as was one <strong>of</strong> three<br />
imported rices.<br />
Cooked rice hardness correlated with grain width ( r = –0.76**,<br />
n = 12), AC ( r = –0.71**), Amylograph consistency ( r = 0.99**, n = 31, and<br />
GC ( r = –0.63*, n = 12). Amylose content in turn correlated with<br />
Amylograph peak viscosity ( r = 1.00**, n = 3), grain width ( r = –0.81**,<br />
n = 12) and length ( r = –0.60*), and <strong>al</strong>k<strong>al</strong>i spreading v<strong>al</strong>ue ( r = 0.60*). Gel<br />
consistency further correlated with <strong>al</strong>k<strong>al</strong>i spreading v<strong>al</strong>ue ( r = –0.63*).<br />
Madagascar<br />

ough<br />
rice production in Madagascar was 2.38 million t in 1989<br />
(FAO 1990b). Annu<strong>al</strong> per capita consumption <strong>of</strong> milled rice<br />
was 128 kg in 1979-81 (FAO 1984) and 114 kg in 1986-88 (FAO<br />
1990a, IRRI 1991).<br />
Preferred vari<strong>et</strong>ies differ by region (B.B. Shahi, Madagascar-IRRI,<br />
Rice Research Project, 1990, pers. commun.):<br />
High plateau (deficit area)—coarse grain, intermediate AC, s<strong>of</strong>tmedium<br />
GC, low GT, and 40% red rices (Roj<strong>of</strong>otsy, Rojomena, Vary<br />
vato, Ambab<strong>al</strong>ava type, Chianan 8). In Fiancrantsva, the southern<br />
part <strong>of</strong> the high plateau, long-grains, intermediate AC, medium<br />
GC, low GT, white grain (Vary lava 1031, Vary lava 1).<br />
Northwest coast<strong>al</strong> area (surplus)—medium-long, translucent grain,<br />
medium GC, intermediate AC, and low GT (Tsip<strong>al</strong>a, Ali combo,<br />
Kiriminy, K<strong>al</strong>ila).<br />
