Policies /Programmes Interventions • 20% import tariff on CIF value (temporarily
suspended in 2008 and reinstated mid-2009)• Input Subsidies;
– Fertilizer Subsidy Programme (2008 - date)– Block Farm Programme (2009 - date)– Seed Subsidy Programme (2012 - date)– AMSECs (2010 - date)
• NAFCO (2010 - date)• Rice Projects (e.g. RSSP, Jica Rice Proj etc)

Price Incentives in relative terms for producers and wholesalers

Key Findings• Wholesalers faced incentives for the whole period
under analysis given their closer connection with the international markets
• The level of incentives for wholesalers is above the 20% import tariff in all years
• Farmers face disincentives for the year 2009 and 2010 which may be justified by the market inefficiencies between the producing areas and wholesale markets
• High access costs and bad price transmission are the main drivers of disincentives at producer level

Recommendation
• Policy interventions are good tools but need to be better targeted to address market inefficiencies and infrastructural gaps
