The Rice Value Chain Development Project (PDCV-Riz) in the Bafata and Oio regions will help to improve productivity and production in the flagship sector for food security: rice. The country has an annual rice deficit of more than 80 000 tonnes. The project will also develop market gardening, the current production of which covers only 60% of needs, for certain sites and school canteens. This activity will help to improve the nutritional status of the beneficiary population, particularly women and children. The project will serve as a catalyst for agricultural development in the area by facilitating water control, strengthening agricultural infrastructure, promoting sustainable production, packaging and processing technologies, and facilitating access to product markets by supporting the development of the strategic sectors of rice and market gardening. Lasting four years, PDCV-Riz revolves around three main components: (i) Modernization and development of agricultural infrastructure; (ii) Development of value chains; and (iii) Project management.
The overall objective of PDCV-Riz is to help improve nutritional and food security and reduce poverty across the country. Its specific objective is to ensure sustainable recovery of the rice value chain in the Bafata and Oio regions by improving productivity, strengthening infrastructure, ensuring resilience to climate change, managing natural agricultural resources in a sustainable manner and reducing gender inequality.
The project will affect close to 1 720 farmers directly, 55% of whom will be women, representing about 12 000 members of agricultural households. It will have an indirect impact on approximately 60 000 people.
