West Africa can be self-sufficient in rice production – John Dumelo
Speaking at a high-level ministerial dialogue at the Africa Food Systems Forum (AFSF) in Kigali, Rwanda, Mr Dumelo said greater regional cooperation was critical to addressing the challenges facing rice production and reducing West Africa’s reliance on imports.
Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture, John Dumelo, has called for stronger collaboration among governments, the private sector, farmers and other stakeholders across West Africa to build a self-sufficient and competitive regional rice industry.
Rice remains a major component of diets across West Africa, making the development of a stronger regional rice value chain important not only for food security but also for employment, rural incomes and economic resilience.
