DescriptionLaunched the Project for the Integrated Development of the Agricultural Value Chains (Projet de Développement Intégré des Chaines de Valeurs Agricoles - PDI-CVA), to be implemented for five years in the Hauts Bassins region, with the aim of supporting the rice and maize sub-sectors. The project would entail investment of XOF 9 975 billion (USD 16.66 billion) and, in the case of rice, would aim to improve productivity levels by ensuring the availability of infrastructure, post-harvest equipment and high-quality inputs (certified rice seeds and fertilizers). Interventions would also be geared at improving farmer access to the markets, marketing of milled rice, constructing warehouses with drying areas, as well as establishing commercial links between value -chain actors and promoting their participation in fairs and exchanges with the ECOWAS Rice Observatory. Other aspect of the project include capacity building and the provision of institutional support for specific technical services.
