De la r\u00e9colte de jardin \u00e0 la puissance alimentaire nationale<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Au cours des six derni\u00e8res d\u00e9cennies, le ma\u00efs a subi une transformation spectaculaire au Nigeria, passant d'une culture vivri\u00e8re mineure \u00e0 l'un des produits de base et produits commerciaux les plus importants du pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aujourd'hui, le Nigeria produit dix fois plus de ma\u00efs qu'elle n'en produisait en 1960<\/strong>, le positionnant comme l'un des principaux producteurs africains. Cette croissance a remodel\u00e9 les syst\u00e8mes alimentaires, renforc\u00e9 les moyens de subsistance ruraux et soutenu une agro-industrie en expansion rapide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Promouvoir la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire nationale<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Le ma\u00efs joue d\u00e9sormais un r\u00f4le central dans le syst\u00e8me alimentaire du Nigeria :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • C'est le culture vivri\u00e8re la plus consomm\u00e9e<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Fournit \u00e0 propos de 101 % de l'apport calorique quotidien<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Soutient des millions de petits exploitants agricoles dans plus de 6,5 millions d'hectares<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Son adaptabilit\u00e9 et sa maturit\u00e9 rapide en font un atout particuli\u00e8rement essentiel durant les p\u00e9riodes de p\u00e9nurie alimentaire, aidant les m\u00e9nages \u00e0 combler les manques saisonniers de nourriture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Un boom de production aliment\u00e9 par l'innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    La transformation du secteur ma\u00efsicole nig\u00e9rian a \u00e9t\u00e9 stimul\u00e9e par :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Vari\u00e9t\u00e9s de ma\u00efs am\u00e9lior\u00e9es et tol\u00e9rantes au stress<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Expansion dans de nouvelles zones agro\u00e9cologiques<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Politiques gouvernementales favorisant l'acc\u00e8s aux engrais et aux semences<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Partenariats solides entre l'IITA, les syst\u00e8mes nationaux et les entreprises semenci\u00e8res priv\u00e9es<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Selon le graphique \u00e0 la page 3<\/em>, la production de ma\u00efs a augment\u00e9 r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement parall\u00e8lement aux am\u00e9liorations du rendement et de la surface cultiv\u00e9e, montrant une combinaison de progr\u00e8s technologiques et d'expansion stimulant la croissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      March\u00e9s plus forts, opportunit\u00e9s plus grandes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      La demande croissante a encore acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9 la croissance du ma\u00efs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Jusqu'\u00e0 Le ma\u00efs 40% est utilis\u00e9 pour l'alimentation animale<\/strong>, motiv\u00e9 par l'industrie avicole<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Autour Le 25% est destin\u00e9 \u00e0 l'industrie agroalimentaire et \u00e0 des usages industriels<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Cela a transform\u00e9 le ma\u00efs en une culture \u00e9conomique cl\u00e9, reliant les agriculteurs aux cha\u00eenes de valeur en expansion dans la transformation des aliments, l'\u00e9levage et l'agro-industrie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Impact \u00e0 grande \u00e9chelle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Le secteur du ma\u00efs aujourd'hui :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Produit Plus de 12 millions de tonnes m\u00e9triques par an<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Comptes pour pr\u00e8s de la moiti\u00e9 de la production de ma\u00efs en Afrique de l'Ouest<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Soutient des millions de moyens de subsistance dans l'agriculture, la transformation et la distribution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Cette transformation a positionn\u00e9 le ma\u00efs comme une pierre angulaire de la strat\u00e9gie nig\u00e9riane en mati\u00e8re d'\u00e9conomie agricole et de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Quelle est la suite<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Malgr\u00e9 ces progr\u00e8s, les rendements restent inf\u00e9rieurs au potentiel mondial. La diffusion de vari\u00e9t\u00e9s climato-intelligentes, l'am\u00e9lioration de l'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des semences de qualit\u00e9 et le renforcement des services de vulgarisation seront essentiels pour lib\u00e9rer la prochaine vague d'impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Pourquoi c'est important<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          La transformation du ma\u00efs au Nigeria montre comment un investissement soutenu dans la recherche agricole, les syst\u00e8mes de semences et le soutien politique peut transformer une culture traditionnelle en un puissant moteur de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire, de croissance \u00e9conomique et de d\u00e9veloppement rural.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
