- Production
ecology
Rice is grown at varying altitudes. During
1995-2000 period, it is estimated that 30 percent of the
harvested rice area come from rainfed lowland ecologies
and 58 percent come from upland ecologies. The
Main climates are Tropical
Wet and Dry, and Tropical Wet. The
Main soil associations are
LP = Leptosols; AC = Acrisols, Alisols, Plinthosols; FR =
Ferrasols, Acrisols, Nitisols

CROP
MANAGEMENT
In upland ecologies, rice is planted in
association or mixed with other crops. Direct seeding is
used in upland and deepwater rice, while transplanting is
the dominant crop establishment method in rainfed lowland
and tidal wetland. Only limited or no production inputs
is applied to rice.

MAIN
PRODUCTION CONSTRAINTS
There are several constraints to sustainable rice
production in Guinea. Following are the majors:
- Dominant of upland shifting cultivation
- Drought in upland areas and drought and flash flood
in rainfed lowland (or inland swamp) and tidal wetland
(or mangrove) areas due to irregular weather
- Inadequate and Irregular input supplies: seeds,
fertilizer and credit
- Lack of small farm equipment especially for post
harvest operations
- Poor maintenance of developed swamps
- Poor drainage, Iron toxicity in undeveloped
swamps
- Lack of effective farmer's organizations and
cooperatives
- Lack of well-defined rice policies
- Poor road networks and marketing systems
- Weak research and extension support
- Inadequate land tenure status in irrigation
schemes
