Book (series)Economic 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. -
ProjectDeveloping Efficient and Inclusive Rice Value Chains in Kenya, Senegal and the United Republic of Tanzania - GCP/RAF/500/JPN 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The importance of rice in sub-Saharan Africa has grown in recent years. It isthe third largest source of dietary energy in Africa as a whole, and the numberone source of dietary energy in West Africa. Its consumption is increasingfaster than any other staple. The 2007/2008 global food crisis led to thecreation of the Coalition for African Rice Development (CARD), an initiativeof the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Alliance for a GreenRevolution in Africa (AGRA) and the New Partnership for African Development(NEPAD). Doubling rice production in Africa by 2018 was set as the primarygoal of the CARD. Rice production in sub-Saharan Africa increased by3.2 percent from 2000 to 2007, and by 8.4 percent from 2007 to 2012. Despitethis growth, production is unable to keep up with demand, and imports arerelied upon to bridge this gap. The project sought to identify and addressbottlenecks in the middle segments of the rice value chains, where rice millersadd value, in three selected CARD countries: Kenya, Senegal, and the UnitedRepublic of Tanzania. This was done through a series of food systems analysesof milling operations to identify constraints related to nutrition, employmentgeneration, access to finance, farmer-miller market linkages and food safety.
