  1. An assessment of the adoption and impact of improved rice varieties in smallholder rice production system in Côte d’Ivoire Sekou DOUMBIA System Agronomist and Impact Assessment Specialist

  2. OUTLINE Introduction • Country brief • Importance of rice in Côte d’Ivoire • CNRA : the national agricultural research system I - Methodology 1.1. Sampling 1.2. Measuring rice field area with GPS

  3. OUTLINE II - Results 2.1. Introduction process of improved varieties 2.2. Improved varieties adoption 2.3. Rice field area 2.4. Paddy rice yield 2.5. Socioeconomic impact of new varieties Conclusion

  4. IntroductionCountry brief • Area : 322 462 km² Capital city : Yamoussoukro • Population : 20,8 millions inhabitants • per capita GDP : F CFA 503 700 (US $ 1800) • GDP growth rate in 2008: +2,3 % • Inflation rate in 2008: +6,3 %(Source UEMOA: April 2009)

  5. IntroductionImportance of rice in Côte d’Ivoire • Domestic production in 2007 : 700 000 tons of milled rice • Domestic consumption in 2007 : 1.5 million of milled rice • Almost half of domestic needs are imported

  6. Introduction The national agricultural research system • CNRA is the sole national agricultural research institution. • It was established by decree as semi-autonomous private company with minority public shareholding in 1998. • CNRA is responsible for the bulk of technological research related to agricultural sector: food crops (rice, maize, …) perennial crops (cocoa, coffee, …) livestock and fishery

  7. MethodologySampling • Random sampling • Sample size: 250 households (seed and rice surplus type marketing) • Sub sample size: • Field area measuring: 62 farms (including 313 individual rice plots) • Yield measuring: 62 farms with three replications by farm • Socioeconomic survey: 170 households

  8. MethodologyMeasuring rice field area with GPSMAP 76S

  9. ResultsIntroduction of improved varieties

  10. ResultsGeographical spread of improved varieties

  11. Results NERICA rice Diffusion curve y = 487.4 (1 + 21.2 ℮-0.715x)-1 2001 2002 2003 2000 2007 2004 2005 2006

  12. ResultsImproved varieties adoption Adoption rate in 2007

  13. ResultsRice field area Distribution of rice area groups

  14. ResultsRice field area Ten most cultivated varieties in the survey area (2007)

  15. ResultsPaddy rice yield Paddy rice yield at 14 % moisture content (2007)

  16. ResultsSocioeconomic impact of improved varieties Seed and rice surplus type marketed in 2008

  17. ResultsSocioeconomic impact of improved varieties Rice growers income groups

  18. Rice field landscape

  19. Women working group

  20. Manual weeding by women

  21. Manual harvesting by women

  22. Threshing

  23. Drying paddy rice

  24. Some local rice varieties

  25. Conclusion • Advantages of GPS use • Easy to use • Good precision • Socioeconomic difficulties • Land pressure characterized by small rice field size • Women can not inherit land • Technical performance of rice cropping system • Low input system • Low yield that leads to low paddy production

  26. Conclusion • Seed production activities • Market opportunities for women • Seed market increases women income • Narrow seed market • Some recommendations • Help women access to production inputs (equipments, fertilizers, herbicides, …) • Emphasize participatory diffusion systems of improved varieties in rural area
