Assessment of Yield Gaps in Main Staple Crops in Rwanda
- Niyitanga Fidèle; Kabayiza Alexis; Niyonzima Jean Pierre
- Abstract: This study analyzed the trends in yield of the stable food crops namely wheat, bean, maize, cassava, irish potato and rice in Rwanda and determined the gaps between current and potential crops yields of these crops. For the analysis of trends yield, crop yield time series covering the period from 2000 to 2013 have been used. For measuring the gaps, crops yield for 2013 year have been used. The findings of the study show that the crop yield is changed a lot from year to year and is in general increasing at declining rate for all crops. The gap between current and potential in yield is currently evaluated at 3.035 tons for maize, 1.839 tons for wheat, 3.266 tons for rice, 1.147 tons for beans, 31.999 tons for cassava and 30.562 for irish potato. In percentage terms and using the upper boundary of potential yield, the gap range from 60.7%, 45.97%, 36.28%, 71.68%, 63.99% and 76.40% respectively for maize, wheat, rice, bean, cassava and irish potato. These figures show that there is a room to increase the yield for all crops and therefore increase the agricultural production in order to improve the food security particularly for farmers who rely almost on income from selling the agricultural production. Therefore, the Governm-ent of Rwanda should continue to adopt programs and strategies to increase the agricultural productivity and production
