- Production
ecology
Rice is grown at varying altitudes, but mostly
below 500 meter above sea-level. During 1995-2000 period,
it is estimated that 16 percent of the harvested rice
area come from irrigated ecologies and 64 percent come
from rainfed lowland ecologies.
Main climates
include Tropical
Steppe & Semiarid; Tropical Wet & Dry, while
Main soil associations are
LX = Lixisols; AR = Arenosols

CROP
MANAGEMENT
Transplanting is the main
method of crop establishment in rainfed lowland and
irrigated ecologies. In upland ecologies, crop is direct
seeded as sole crop or in mixture with other crops.
Application of fertilizers is practiced mostly in
irrigated ecologies.

MAIN
PRODUCTION CONSTRAINTS
Rice
yield has been stagnated since 1995. In some irrigated
schemes, yield decreased was reported There are several
constraints to sustainable rice production in Burkina
Faso. Following are the major ones:
- Drought
in upland areas and drought and flash flood in rainfed
lowland (or inland swamp) areas due to irregular
weather
- Low
temperature during off-season in irrigated
areas
- Inadequate
and Irregular input supplies: seeds, fertilizer and
credit
- Lack of
small farm equipment especially for post harvest
operations
- Lack of
effective farmer organizations and
cooperatives
- Poor
maintenance of irrigation facilities
- Lack of
a well-defined rice policy
- Poor
road networks and marketing systems
- Labor
shortage due to competition from other crop
- Weak
research and extension support
