Summary<br />
High-AC rices predominate in Africa (Table 8), except in Egypt (low<br />
AC), and part <strong>of</strong> Madagascar and probably Ivory Coast (intermediate<br />
AC). Low-AC rices are important in Egypt, Ivory Coast, Liberia,<br />
Madagascar, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. Low GT predominates over<br />
intermediate GT, and hard and s<strong>of</strong>t GC over medium GC. <strong>Grain</strong> length<br />
is mostly medium, followed by short and long. <strong>Grain</strong> shape is mostly<br />
medium, then slender and bold. Long grains predominate in Liberia,<br />
M<strong>al</strong>i, and Nigeria; medium grains in Ivory Coast; medium-short grains<br />
in Ghana and Sierra Leone; and short, bold grains in Egypt. All grain<br />
types are present in Madagascar. Not enough samples were obtained<br />
from Benin, Cameroon, Tanzania, Togo, and Zambia to make any conclusion<br />
on rice qu<strong>al</strong>ity characteristics.<br />
The most common significant correlation is b<strong>et</strong>ween GC and<br />
cooked rice hardness in five countries, followed by AC and hardness,<br />
AC and grain width, and hardness and grain width in four countries.<br />
