      abstract = {Improving local rice production capacity is a key element  on the agenda of most countries in the West African  Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). There are several  reasons for this drive: (1) the high levels of rice  imports, which constitute a burden on the countries’  financial resources; (2) the relatively high contribution  of the commodity to national food security programmes; (3)  income generation for smallholder farm communities; and (4)  the contribution of rice to the improvement of nutritional  status. The policy analysis matrix approach was used to  evaluate the policy-induced effects of the WAEMU common  external tariffs on the performance of irrigated rice  production systems in Niger. The results show that the  irrigated rice production system receives little  protection, and that retail rice marketing channels are  even less protected. The negative net policy effects  indicate that greater incentives are needed for enhanced  system performance.},
