  • Agricultural Diversification in Mali: the Case of the Cotton Zone of Koutiala
    AGRICULTURAL DIVERSIFICATION IN MALI: THE CASE OF THE COTTON ZONE OF KOUTIALA By Mariam Sako Thiam A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics – Master of Science 2014 ABSTRACT AGRICULTURAL DIVERSIFICATION IN MALI: THE CASE OF THE COTTON ZONE OF KOUTIALA By Mariam Sako Thiam Cotton production plays a central role in the economy and the livelihood of cotton growers in the Koutiala area of Mali. Despite all the investment made in the cotton zones, the cotton farmers in Koutiala suffer substantially from uncertainties in the cotton subsector linked to prices, timely payment, and to the future structure of the industry. This study analyzes empirically how cotton growers with different agricultural characteristics coped with these uncertainties over the period 2006-2010. The data used in this study were collected during the survey that covered 150 households in the Koutiala area during three cropping seasons: 2006-07, 2008-09 and 2009- 10.The results show that despite income diversification among the households surveyed in Koutiala, agricultural production remains the main source of income. The findings also show that the farmers who continued to grow cotton during the three years of the survey and those who started producing cotton after year one diversified within the agricultural sector by producing more peanuts and cowpeas while the farmers who dropped out of cotton production after year one of the survey diversified toward non-farm activities such as commerce and self. We also found that the non-cotton growers are the poorest group of farmers, with less agricultural equipment and labor as well as less overall wealth, limiting their potential to invest in farm activities and start an off-farm business.

Depuis un certain temps, le Gouvernement a opté de faire du Mali une puissance agricole et faire de l’agriculture le moteur de la croissance économique. La réalisation de cette ambition passe par la combinaison de plusieurs facteurs dont la production et l’utilisation des semences certifiées. On note que la semence contribue à hauteur de 30-40% dans l’augmentation de la production agricole. En effet, les semences G4, R1 et R2 sont produites aussi bien par les structures techniques de l’Etat (Service Semencier National et l’IER) que par les sociétés et Coopératives semencières (FASO KABA, Cigogne, Comptoir 2000, etc.) ainsi que par les producteurs individuels à travers le pays.

  • Perceptions and Adaptations to Climate Change in Southern Mali
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 12 March 2021 doi:10.20944/preprints202103.0353.v1 Perceptions and adaptations to climate change in Southern Mali Tiémoko SOUMAORO PhD student at the UFR of Economics and Management, Gaston Berger University (UGB) of Saint-Louis, Senegal. [email protected] ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the impact of climate change on market garden production in the extreme south of Mali through the perception and adaptation of market gardeners to climatic phenomena. The study used two models, namely the probit selection and Heckman results models and multinomial logistic regression, based on data collected from producers. A total of 194 producers were surveyed. The results of Heckman's probit model indicate that experience in agriculture and the educational level of the producers are the two main determinants of producers' perception and simultaneous adaptation to climate change. Among these variables agricultural experience is both positively and negatively correlated with perception. Keywords: Adaptation, climate change, southern Mali, Heckman probit, vegetable production 1. INTRODUCTION Climate change and its impacts have now become one of the greatest challenges for humanity, its environment and its economies (IPCC, 2013). At the global level, climate change is reflected in the rise in the average temperature of the planet, the melting of glaciers, the rise in sea level and the increase in the frequency of extreme events, the disappearance of species of animal origin, changes in rainfall patterns, etc. The average temperature in the world will increase by 1.8°C to 4°C, and in the worst case 6.4°C by the end of this century (IPCC, 2007).

  • Meteorological Assistance to the Rural Community in Mali
    Agence Nationale de la Météorologie (MALI METEO) Meteorological assistance to the rural Community in Mali Mr. D Z Diarra, Chef du Service Agrométéorologie, Agence Nationale de la Mmétéorologie (MALI METEO), Bamako, Mali Antalya , April 2014 PLAN Introduction Priorities of rural producers Hitory Weather assistance to rural world Other carried out action Some results Some Constraints Perspectives Conclusion INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION Mali: Sahelian country – 14,5 Millions people (census of 1st at April 14, 2009) Economy: Largely dominated by Agriculture: 40% of the P.I.B Nearly 70% of the population live in rural environment including 80% directly or indirectly of rain fed agriculture Agricultural production subjected to the annual and interannual variability of rainfall like to its space-time distribution. Rainfall mode: Great dryness of 1972 and successive drynesses Reduction of the average annual rainfall of more than 20% over the successive periods 1951 – 1970 and 1971 - 2000. PRIORITIES OF RURAL PRODUCERS • When will the rainy season begin in different localities? • What quantity of rain will fall throughout the rainy season? • How long will the season last? • Can we predict the weather and the climate for each zone of the country (e.g. on the sub-national or village scale)? HISTORY To face the challenge of drynesses the authorities of the touched countries shared their efforts within the framework of the strategies of parade by the creation of the CILSS with its Specialized agencies (CRA, INSAH). On the level of the countries there was a reinforcement of capacities of the weather and hydrological services (equipment, formation). The concretization of this political good-will resulted in the setting into?uvre pilot project of agrometeorologic assistance in Mali in 1982 to attenuate the impacts of the drynesses.

  • Cotton As Catalyst?: Mali's Silent Maize Revolution
    Cotton as Catalyst?: Mali’s Silent Maize Revolution Paul Laris Jeremy Foltz Department of Geography Department of Agricultural California State University Economics Long Beach University of Wisconsin Cotton Field in Southern Mali Why do farmers embrace cotton cultivation when they are well aware of the difficulties that they may confront while doing so? We can understand this paradox by conceptualizing cotton growing as part of larger systems of which farmers value cotton production for more than its potential or actual income alone (Koenig 2008). Our study’s approach Multi-scale history of cotton and maize production • Quantitative Data – FAO national data 1961-2007 – IER-Mali regional data 1984- 2007 • Crop area, production and yield – IER-Sikasso data from 1994- 2006 • Qualitative Data 2010 • ~100 household/farms Interviews with farmers in 4 • 9-12 villages in 3 sub-regions: villages in CMDT and OHVN Koutiala, Kadiolo, Bougouni zones A Brief History of the Cotton-Maize Connection • Early 1980s: Introduction and Promotion of Intensive Maize Growing – In 1981 Malian cotton company,(CMDT) launched the Maize Intensification Project – Developed fertilizing formula based on existing fertilizers that were available for cotton – Subsidized prices for maize and access to credit for fertilizers led to an increase in production New maize varieties A Brief History of the Cotton-Maize Connection • 1990s: Currency Devaluation and Expansion – 1994 the West Africa currency (CFA) devalued 50% – Cotton price rises as cost of does fertilizer – Expansion of both fertilizer use and area farmed – Cotton production increases and maize booms, millet and sorghum growth is flat. – Cotton yields fall and the argument is made that cotton area expands too rapidly resulting in yield declines (Benjaminsen).
