“…This observation is in recognition that a rise in rice supply could have a direct effect on the nutrition and food security in the region (AfricaRice, 2007). As noted by Nkang et al, (2007), measurement of supply responsiveness of farmers is a veritable means of assessing the impact of economic reforms with a view that policies, which 3 provide appropriate incentive such as price or non-price factors are likely to bring about high supply responsiveness, while those that act as disincentives are less likely to do so.…”

The paper provides a regional estimate of rice yield and acreage supply response to prices in West Africa. Using balanced panel data of seven countries covering 1991–2006, the study employs panel cointegration estimators, namely FMOLS and DOLS to estimate the long-run rice yield supply function and using one-step Blundell-Bond system GMM to estimate the short-run acreage supply function in the region. While the empirical findings from both estimators provide similar results, the estimates show that price of maize is a key determinant of rice yield and acreage and there is rice-maize substitutability in both the long-run and short-run in the study. The short-run Granger causality runs only from maize price to rice acreage, while long run causality of joint effect of the prices on the acreage supply is also evident in the study. Our results also show that the rice yield and acreage supply functions are unresponsive to own price in the short -run and long -run, respectively.
