Book (series)Technical studyEconomic and climate effects of low-carbon agricultural and bioenergy practices in the rice value chain in Gagnoa, Côte d’Ivoire 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The present technical study provides the results and a summary of the most important lessons learned from implementation of a series of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices in the rice supply chains of Gagnoa in Côte d’Ivoire. The aim of the CSA practices was to enhance the adaptive capacity of the rice sector against climate change, as erratic rainfall patterns and droughts events have, historically, significantly impacted production. This study relies on data collected at farm and processing levels during two field missions to two pilot sites in August 2017 and September 2018 under the project “Contribution à l’atteinte des objectifs liés au changement climatique et à la sécurité alimentaire via l’agriculture intelligente face au climat en Côte d’Ivoire – cas de la filière riz”. This project is a technical cooperation project implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) from 2016 and 2018. The study provides a series of recommendations for policymakers, including incentives for the development of a modern bioenergy sector in Côte d’Ivoire which are still nascent. -
ProjectFactsheetEnhancing Rice Value Chains in Côte d'Ivoire, United Republic of Tanzania and Philippines - GCP/GLO/229/ROK 2025
Also available in:
Côte d'Ivoire, the Philippines, and the United Republic of Tanzania share common challenges that hinder the development of rice production and the entire rice value chain. These include low productivity of rice farms and lack of adequate technology and skills for rice processing, resulting in poor quality that reduces the competitiveness of local rice against imports. Other key challenges that constrain the development of the sector include inadequate and limited mechanization of rice value chain activities, inefficient production and provision of quality seeds and other inputs in sufficient quantities and in a timely manner, poor development and/or rehabilitation of rice lands, and lack of water control. Despite the challenges faced by these countries, some Asian countries have already demonstrated that with the right investments, policies and effective political will, accompanied by good agronomic practices and capacity-building activities, countries can increase their national rice production. To address these challenges, the project targeted the three countries mentioned above with the aim of improving rice value chains through South-South Cooperation.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAnalyse de la chaîne de valeur riz en Côte d’Ivoire - Optimiser l’impact socio-économique et environnemental d’un scénario d’autosuffisance à l’horizon 2030 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Les importations du riz en Côte d’Ivoire ont connu une forte croissance ces dernières années en dépit du potentiel d’accroissement de la production locale. Afin de réaliser une autosuffisance en riz à l’horizon 2030, le gouvernement ivoirien s’est donné pour ambition d’accroitre la production et les capacités de transformation locale. Ainsi, cette étude est une analyse prospective de la filière riz en Côte d’Ivoire sur la période 2020-2030. L’objectif est d’évaluer l’impact économique et environnemental de la situation actuelle de la filière comparé à celui d’un Scénario futur d’amélioration (Scénario de réalisation de l’auto-suffisance alimentaire). Enfin, l’étude propose une évaluation de la rentabilité économique des investissements dans le cadre de l’atteinte de l’objectif d’autosuffisance en riz à l’horizon 2030. En collaboration avec AfricaRice, des données ont été recueillies auprès des institutions publiques en charge de la politique rizicole en Côte d’Ivoire tel que l’ADERIZ. Les simulations pour la réalisation du Scénario futur d’autosuffisance d’ici 2030 sont effectuées à l’aide de l’outil EX-ACT VC de la FAO considérant une amélioration de l’accès aux intrants et à la mécanisation, l’augmentation des superficies et l’amélioration des capacités de transformation locale ainsi qu’une meilleure structuration de la filière. -
