Emerging models to drive rice intensification in West Africa 1) Rice demand is exploding in West Africa due to population growth, but current smallholder systems lack efficiency in production and market access. 2) The Syngenta Foundation aims to integrate smallholders into functioning rice value chains through projects providing access to inputs, equipment, and markets. 3) Example projects in Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Mali, and Senegal involve thousands of smallholders in contract farming and warrantage models with a focus on improved production, post-harvest handling, and market linkages.
