Sierra Leone<br />

R<br />

ough<br />

rice production in Sierra Leone was 430,000 t in 1989<br />

(FAO 1990b). Annu<strong>al</strong> per capita consumption <strong>of</strong> milled rice<br />

was 92 kg in 1979-81 (IRRI 1991) and 84 kg in 1986-88 (FAO<br />

1990a, IRRI 1991). ROKl5 and ROKl6 are rainfed upland vari<strong>et</strong>ies that<br />

were grown on about 150,000 ha in 1984 (D<strong>al</strong>rymple 1986).<br />

Preferred vari<strong>et</strong>ies have good head rice yield, good grain swelling<br />

on cooking, and s<strong>of</strong>t-medium cooked rice (A.O. Adewusi, WARDA,<br />

1990, pers. commun.). Of 24 popular and farmers' field rices, 20 had<br />

intermediate AC, two had low AC, and two had high AC. All had<br />

intermediate GT, and variable GC (IITA 1985). Thirteen mark<strong>et</strong> samples<br />

had five with intermediate AC and eight with high AC, and 6-11%<br />

protein; eight were parboiled (A. O. Adewusi, WARDA, 1990, pers.<br />

commun.). Mean AC <strong>of</strong> 1988 loc<strong>al</strong> rices was 24.3% (Adewusi <strong>et</strong> <strong>al</strong> 1989).<br />

Samples <strong>of</strong> irrigated, upland, and tid<strong>al</strong> swamp vari<strong>et</strong>ies were<br />

predominantly high AC (Appendix, Table 8). Upland and irrigated<br />

rices had low- and intermediate-AC entries, but <strong>al</strong>l tid<strong>al</strong> swamp rices<br />

had high AC, intermediate GT, and hard-medium GC. <strong>Grain</strong> size and<br />

shape were variable, but most were medium-short, medium-slendershaped.<br />

Some long-grained rices were included in the samples. ROK3<br />

had harder cooked rice than ROKl6, evident from their GC and<br />

Amylograph viscosity.<br />

Cooked rice hardness correlated with grain width ( r = –0.40**,<br />

n = 44), GC ( r = -0.42**), AC ( r = 0.51**), and <strong>al</strong>k<strong>al</strong>i spreading v<strong>al</strong>ue<br />

( r = 0.44**). <strong>Grain</strong> width correlated with AC ( r = –0.60**, n = 85), and<br />

grain length with GC ( r = 0.47**).<br />

Tanzania<br />

T<br />

anzania<br />

produced 570,000 t <strong>of</strong> rough rice in 1989 (FAO 1990b).<br />

Annu<strong>al</strong> per capita consumption <strong>of</strong> milled rice in 1986-88 was<br />

18 kg (FAO 1990a). Twelve popular and farmers' field rices had<br />

nine with low AC and GT and three with intermediate AC and GT<br />

(IITA 1985). The INGER sample <strong>of</strong> S<strong>al</strong>ama had high AC, low GT, and<br />

hard GC (Appendix, Table 8). It had long, medium-shaped grain.<br />
