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. 000207024 650__ $$aAgricultural and Food Policy 000207024 650__ $$aInternational Development 000207024 700__ $$aKelly, Valerie 000207024 700__ $$aDiakité, Lamissa 000207024 700__ $$aTeme, Bino 000207024 8564_ $$924aeac97-6d46-4e75-8b24-1b4d2441cd75$$s2535366$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/207024/files/idwp138.pdf 000207024 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/207024 000207024 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:207024$$pGLOBAL_SET 000207024 912__ $$nSubmitted by Cathy Snider (sniderca@msu.edu) on 2015-07-29T20:13:47Z No. of bitstreams: 1 idwp138.pdf: 2535366 bytes, checksum: 982167a22a4e7f0a03f0375f2da27c25 (MD5) 000207024 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2015-07-29T20:13:48Z (GMT).
