Introduction
Country 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 %

Introduction
Importance 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
Introduction
The national agricultural research system
CNRA is the sole national agricultural research
institution.
It was
established by decree as semiautonomous 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
Methodology
Sampling
 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
Methodology
Measuring rice field area with GPSMAP 76S

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
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
