Impact Des Réformes Sur La Compétitivité De La Production De Riz En Côte d’Ivoire Et Analyse De Sensibilité

Abstract

The rice landscape since independence from the Ivory Coast to the present, is characterized by a series of government policies for the sector. The latest is the Revised National Strategy for Development of the rice sector (NRDS) 2012 - 2020. The central objective of this study is to analyze the impact on the competitiveness of producers, strategic guidelines defined by the NRDS. Our results indicate that it will generally have a positive effect on the competitiveness of production systems. But we find her, the existence of unfavorable conditions for the cultivation of upland rice system. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis completing the foregoing analysis is performed. The results of this simulation show that: i) the increase in yield was identified as the only factor able to improve both financial profitability, external competitiveness (comparative advantage), reducing at the same time support producers; ii) the competitiveness of local rice increased with the overvaluation of the CFA. All these previous analyzes using the Policy Analysis Matrix (MAP) as an analytical model.
