When Mali’s Office du Niger (ON) irrigation scheme embarked on a reform voyage in the 1980s, all agreed on the need for reforms, but no one was certain what the results might be. Now, two decades later, the results are extraordinary. Between 1982 and 2002, rice yields have quadrupled, total production has increased sixfold, incomes have increased dramatically while supporting a four-times-larger population, agriculture has diversified, cropping intensities have increased, and food security has improved. Maintenance of the irrigation infrastructure is fully paid for by farmers, who have organized themselves to be fully involved in the management of the scheme. A buoyant private sector has emerged, making a sustainable living out of milling, trading, and transporting rice; providing farmers with credit; manufacturing farm equipment; and selling farm inputs. The ON has become an attractive investment opportunity for investors who want to expand irrigation to enhance and accelerate the important contribution irrigated agriculture is making to the national economy.
