“…Much has been written about the agronomic and economic constraints confronting growers of irrigated rice in the SRV (for example, Pearson et al, 1981;Haefele et al, 2002;Johnson et al, 2004;Poussin et al, 2006;Rodenburg and Johnson, 2009;Demont et al, 2009;de Mey et al, 2012), but little attention has been paid to the end-market challenges of consumer preferences for imported rice, their lack of awareness of local rice, and the general perception of its being of lower quality than imported rice -an old critique already raised by Ross (1983). 1 What does exist is a large body of literature analysing the effectiveness of price policies in reversing the trend from traditional domestic coarse grains (maize, millet, and sorghum) to imported wheat and rice in West Africa (Kelly et al, 1995;Reardon et al, 1997;Akindes, 1999;Singare et al, 1999). The conclusion from this research is that price policies do not work owing to the low price response of rice producers and consumers.…”

“…La question cruciale maintenant est de savoir comment cette empreinte du biais urbain sur les marchés urbains peut être renversée ? La recherche a montré que les politiques de prix n'ont pas réussi à renverser le biais urbain (Reardon, 1993 ;Kelly et al, 1995 ;Reardon et al, 1997 ;Akindes, 1999 ;Singare et al, 1999). D'où la proposition suivante : les politiques devraient cibler des caractéristiques intrinsèques (hors-prix) du riz, notamment adapter la qualité du riz aux exigences des consommateurs sur les marchés urbains (Ndour et al, 2010 ;Demont et Rizzotto, 2012).…”

“…A large body of literature analyzed the effectiveness of price policies in reversing the trend from traditional local grains to wheat and rice (Akindes, 1999;Diagana, Akindes, Savadogo, Reardon, & Staatz, 1999;Jü tting, 2000;Kelly, Reardon, Diagana, & Fall, 1995;Reardon, 1993;Reardon et al, 1997;Singare et al, 1999). In the past, two methods had been advocated to reduce imports and shift consumption to domestic cereals, i.e., devaluation and import tariffs.…”
