Geographer from three American colleges did study that will apear in the proceedings of national academia,
led the study,The team look at thirty years worth of information food secrurity and agriculture policy in Gambia,ivory coast and mali.Most of research settled on rice,an important crop in those three west africa countries
The researchers say gambia,ivory coast suffered more during the food crisis than Mali
They say this was because people in Gambia and Ivory coast had come to depend on imported rice,local rice production fail as the countries reduced farm support and import tax under free market reforms,that meant rice farmers were not only earning less but facing greater competition from imports,then when the food crisis hit,The cost of foreign rice shot up
The researcher say Mali suffer less because it depended less on imported rice,In parts geography Mali is not a coast country with ports like Ivory coast and Gambia,
Naren Spiger from orangel states of university said,after gaining independence,africa nations tried to help farmers.Government provided low cost seeds and fertilizers,They built process mills and roads to market,and they protected their market with high tariffs on imported food,but at late 1970s,those countrys no longer had much money to help farmers,So they changes policys and plan another way to improve agriculture.Govenment send major lands like warbank,International monotary turn to three market policy, |
