The Rice Compact of TAAT is paving the way for rice transformation in sub-Saharan Africa by promoting locally-adapted high-yielding rice varieties and hybrids developed by the Africa Rice Center. Due to low productivity in Sub-Sahara Africa, rice consumption outstrips production; for example in 2018, whiles 32.925 million metric tons of rice was consumed in the region, ongly 18.628 million tons of milled rice was produced. This indicated that there was 42% production-consumption gap and to fill the demand-supply gap, 13.985 million…
