INTSORMIL Presentations
The driver of agricultural development is the introduction of new technology. Sensitive sorghums have long been a critical component of hillside Central American agriculture providing a reserve or insurance policy when the principal staple of maize falters. The insensitive sorghums have been more recently introduced since the ‘70s for planting in the valleys in the second season. In the last thirty years the introduction of new insensitive cultivars has accelerated initially for poultry and in the previous two decades for dairy production. This growth has been facilitated by strategic investments in research by CENTA and the Ministry of Agriculture.

Sorgos fotosensitivos' han sido un componente crítico en la agricultura de las laderas centroamericanas, ofreciendo una reserva o póliza de seguro cuando el alimento básico principal de maiz tambalea. Los sorgos foto-insensitivos han sido introducidos recientemente desde los anos 70 para la siembra en postrera en los valles. En los últimos treinta anos, la introducción de nuevas variedades insensitivas se ha acelerado, en un inicio para las aves de corral y en las dos décadas anteriores para la producción lechera. Este crecimiento ha sido posible gracias a las inversiones …
Diversification Or Cotton Recovery In The Malian Cotton Zone: Effects On Households And Women, Jeanne Yekeleya Coulibaly
Diversification Or Cotton Recovery In The Malian Cotton Zone: Effects On Households And Women, Jeanne Yekeleya Coulibaly
INTSORMIL Scientific Publications
This dissertation investigates income diversification alternatives from the cotton economy and compares those initiatives with present policy measures to restore the cotton sector in Mali. It also derives the welfare implications for women of these various policy measures.
During the decade preceding 2011, farmers’ incomes in the cotton zone of Mali have been significantly affected by the downturn of the cotton economy explained by many factors including the low farm gate cotton price, the declining cotton yields and soil fertility concerns. In 2011, the Malian government substantially increased the farm gate cotton price as a result of the world cotton …

El uso tradicional del grano de sorgo en nuestro país ha sido principalmente en la alimentación de especies menores, mientras que los rastrojos de este cultivo se han utilizado para alimentar al ganado bovino especialmente durante la época seca. En ganaderías de subsistencia yen otras explotaciones lecheras más tecnificadas emplean los forrajes conservados como silo o heno para suplir las necesidades alimenticias durante la época seca que es la más crítica para la alimentación.
Algunas ganaderlas tecnificadas prefieren el maíz para ensilarlo debido a su mayor valor nutritivo; sin embargo la incorporación de los genes "bmr' en las nuevas variedades …

Sorghum Clear Beer Value Chain, Bernadette C. Chimai
INTSORMIL Presentations
The markets and industrial utilization of agricultural commodities have undergone considerable change in the last few decades.
In Zambia, sorghum was considered a traditional crop with limited industrial uses.
Research and transformations in consumer tastes and preferences have led to the development of new uses for sorghum.
Potential markets for industrial utilization of sorghum have been identified as food processing, beer brewing, feed concentrates and energy production.
One of the success stories in industrial utilization of sorghum has been Eagle, a sorghum based clear beer produced by Zambian breweries.
The study reported in this paper aims to examine the main …

Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench is a drought tolerant crop able to adapt to hot and dry weather. It has excellent chemical and physical properties, which make it a grain of good quality for processing different types of products. This research is an impact assessment study that estimated the potential impacts of new uses of sorghum by using an equilibrium displacement model. The data used was drawn from interviews developed in July 2011.Using total quantity production, prices, prices elasticities and cost shares 8 potential market scenarios were simulated. Results between countries were similar. Thus, the analysis was applied for both countries. …
