In this article, we discuss the importance of rice in the diet of Africans and how rising rice prices are raising concerns about potential food crises in Africa. We examine the causes of this price increase, such as the restriction of rice exports by some Asian countries. African governments are taking emergency measures, such as capping prices and suspending exports, but this can have negative consequences on their budgets and on local production in the long term. We propose the establishment of free trade in food products in Africa and structural reforms to deal with this crisis. In addition, we address the issue of the CFA franc and its impact on African economies. In conclusion, a comprehensive and coordinated approach is needed to address the challenges of food inflation in Africa.
