The round table held on June 21 was a real way out of the tunnel for Malian producers, who have seen their production dwindle (from 770,000 tonnes to 390,000 tonnes. Source: Ecofin) as a result of the massive jassid attack and ECOWAS restrictions following the Malian crisis. It provided an opportunity to learn more about the major problems faced by our partners, and then to propose Bayer's solutions, namely Belt Expert, Dekalb and RoundUp.

The presence of the Malian Ministry of Agriculture, cotton growers and players in the maize, rice and market gardening sectors showed the interest shown in the issue and the solutions proposed by Bayer WCA.

Corn being one of Mali's major crops, a presentation of Dekalb hybrid seeds was also given, arousing particular interest among participants. According to many of the participants, Dekalb is a product that guarantees food security in Mali, improving producers' incomes by providing them with better yields and enabling them to diversify their sources of income.
