Most of the large rice irrigation systems in Southeast Asia have been designed for rice irrigation under a supply-driven mode. Despite their huge contribution to agricultural production, there is a general consensus that these large rice irrigation systems have not lived up to expectations because of a legacy of poor institutional arrangements and system design, degraded infrastructure, poor management and stagnation in the face of rapid transformations of agriculture and pressures on their water supply.

Numerous projects throughout Africa have shown that they result in improved soils, better yields and higher incomes for farmers. The document summarizes some of these experiences, points out successes, and – equally important – shows constraints and gaps that need to be addressed.

La présente publication émane d'une demande du Directeur général de la FAO visant à rassembler un large éventail de statistiques dans les domaines de l'alimentation et de l'agriculture en indiquant, le cas échéant, les différences entre pays développés et en développement, entre les continents et entre les régions.

Il a néanmoins été décidé de les publier sous forme de document, compte tenu de l'intérêt qu'éveillaient ces informations.
