Land sales and the transformation of social relations and landscape in peri-urban Mali
Rice Producer-Processor Networks in CÔte d'ivoire
Pressured by structural adjustment loan conditions, Côte d'Ivoire reduced state support for rice production and processing during the 1990s. In this article we examine how various actors in the rice commodity chain adapted to the macroeconomic reforms. Following a brief history of the rice sector, we present the results of fieldwork based on interviews conducted in 2002 of farmers, millers, traders, and workers in the state extension service and …
Le riz dans l'ancienne « Boucle du cacao » de Côte d'Ivoire
Depuis l’indépendance en 1960, les différents gouvernements qui se sont succédé en Côte d’Ivoire semblaient faire de l’autosuffisance en riz un pivot de la politique de la sécurité alimentaire du pays. Il n’en était rien. La société d’État dont les performances techniques autorisaient les meilleurs espoirs pour atteindre cet objectif a été dissoute l’année qui a suivi celle de son meilleur résultat, preuve que d’autres intérêts s’opposaient à cet…
Seeing Green in Mali’s Woods
Political decentralization and local, participatory control of natural resources number among the development trends of the 1990s and the early 2000s. Where they have initially assumed an undifferentiated local community and a free flow of commonly understood information about environments and resources, they are potentially flawed. The devolution of natural-resource management authority to local communities raises questions about who participate…

Access to Labor in Rural Mali
Reconceptualization of the rural household in West Africa has emphasized dynamic processes that determine household form and function. This article examines the role of the household in mobilizing farm labor. Negotiating within the framework of the household to gain access to labor is itself a process that transforms the household. Within households individuals have different production interests related to their social status. In a case study vi…
The Cultural Diffusion of Rice Cropping in Cote d'Ivoire
Rice consumption and production have an ever-increasing impact on West African national economies and the changing local ecologies of the region. Cote d'Ivoire illustrates this point, with rising consumption, primarily in urban areas. Between 1984 and 1989 this rise cost an annual average of U.S.$93.7 million in imports, which increased to U.S.$107 million in 1993, making Cote d'Ivoire the largest importer in West Africa (FAO 1995). To meet this …
An early experiment in the reorganisation of agricultural production in the French Soudan (Mali), 1920-40
Water control has long appeared an attractive technological solution to risky farming i n zones dependent on rain-fed cropping systems, especially in semi-arid regions. From the early twentieth century, European technicians and administrators sought to develop irrigated agriculture in African colonies. In the French Soudan the earliest colonial waterworks date back to the 1920s, just outside Bamako, in the vicinity of Baguineda. From Baguineda th…
The Collapse of the Family Farm in West Africa? Evidence from Mali
This article examines the relationship between land tenure, social structure, and agricultural production at village, household and sub-household levels in a Bambara village 50 kilometres south-east of Bamako, Mali. The analysis focuses on the operation of agricultural production units. It draws from seven months' field research in 1987. At the village level, the chief plays a central role in allocating land to the heads of households. At the hou…
