[edit] Summary
| Description |
Major Agricultural Region in Southern Mali, showing Isohyet lines and crop intesity percentages. "Mali’s most productive agricultural region located between Bamako and Mopti. Irrigation is practiced in this region, but irrigation water is used mainly for rice while cotton is grown as a rainfed crop. Average rainfall varies in this region from 500-mm per year around Mopti to 1400-mm in the south near Bougouni. Cotton production systems typically revolve around small family farms with limited equipment and no mechanization. ... In general, cotton in the Franc Zone is grown within the Sudanian and Sudanian-Guinean Zone, characterized with an annual rainfall ranging from 600-1200 mm and growing seasons greater than 120 days. Cotton within the Franc Zone is planted from May-July and harvested from October-December.
