CILSS - MLI, CIRAD - FRA, FAO - ITA, Famine Early Warning Systems Network - USA, WFP - ITA. 2011. The 2008 rice crisis: shock and new challenges. Paris : OCDE, 11 p. (Enjeux Ouest-Africains : OCDE/CSAO, 2, June 2011)

Résumé : West Africa currently imports 5.2 million tonnes of rice, compared with 1.7 million tonnes in the early 1990s, and is only able to cover 60% of its needs despite possessing considerable rice-growing potential. The region will nevertheless for the foreseeable future remain dependent on an international market in which prices are structurally rising and which is increasingly volatile. This paper analyses the crisis of 2008, new trends and policy responses to address new challenges in the rice sector. It is based on a study carried out between May and December 2010 by CILSS, CIRAD, FAO, FEWS NET and the WFP
