    Also available in:
    This module illustrates a case study regarding the Commodity Chain Analysis (CCA). It belongs to a set of modules which discuss how to carry out CCA through a step–by-step procedure. The user is introduced to a real situation where he has to build and analyze a commodity chain. The case study contains five exercises based on a database provided in a spreadsheet, containing all relevant information (e.g, yields, hectares per agent etc). The first exercise allows the user to familiarize with the f unctional analysis of a commodity chain. The second exercise aims to practise the flows analysis. The third one helps experts to use the production-trading accounts which are the real foundations of the CCA. The fourth one allows us to build the analysis model based on the accounts of individual agents. Finally, the fifth one illustrates how to use this model to simulate scenarios.

    Findings and recommendations for making Tanzania's rice sector more competitive. During the period in which the URT was a net importer of rice (2005-2009), producers received prices that were higher than those prevailing in international markets (Figure 1). Protection was not only due to the import tariff (since protection levels were higher than the 75 per cent import tariff ) but also due to high costs at the port of Dar es Salaam. However, levels of protection de creased as the country eventually became a net exporter of rice in 2010.
