Aligning policies to boost rice production and exports in Mali
Año: 2013
Rice farmers in Mali receive prices that are lower than international reference prices. MAFAP analysis suggests that the following measures would improve production incentives for producers:
• ensuring that short-term policies aimed at keeping prices affordable for consumers do not contradict long-term policies aimed at boosting production;
• defining policy objectives more clearly and communicating them to producers and consumers in a transparent way;
• improving infrastructure to lower transport costs, especially between the farm-gate and wholesale markets;
• eliminating illicit costs; and
• providing regular and transparent price information to consumers and producers.
