      abstract = {Mali has a long history of focusing agricultural research  and policies on the cereal sector, as cereals are the major  staples providing food security. Despite the overall  success of Malian cereal research and market reforms,  recent production and productivity trends for  traditional
coarse grains (millet and sorghum) have grown  at a much slower pace than rice and maize. This literature  review describes how Mali is currently performing in terms  of sorghum productivity, how the sector got to where it is  today, and issues that need to be addressed to further its  development. Sorghum is the focus of the review because of  its adaptability to a variety of climates and the role it  plays in providing food security to semi-subsistent  rural
households.},
