Abstract

The importance of millet and sorghum in the Malian diet and the need for progressively larger imports of these commodities since the mid-1960s has created a strong desire in the Government of the Republic of Mali (GOM) to become more self-sufficient in these basic cereal crops. Feeling that presently administered marketing and price programs might be causing serious market distensions, the GOM requested a study of their pricing policy for millet and sorghum with a view to increasing the price at the village level. The U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) was asked by the U. S. Agency for International Development (AID) to provide a short-term consultant team to conduct this study. The team was to review Malian price policy for millet and sorghum and to see what might be suggested as alternative price policies for consideration by the GOM. The aim was to increase in the near future domestic
