Office du Niger : ウィキペディア英語版 | Office du Niger
The Office du Niger is a semi-autonomous government agency in Mali that administers a large irrigation scheme in the Ségou Region of the country. Water from the Niger River is diverted into a system of canals at the Markala dam downstream of Ségou. The water is used to irrigate nearly of the flat alluvial plains to the north and northeast of Markala that form part of the ''Delta mort''. Although the French colonial administration constructed the system to produce cotton for the textile industry, the main agricultural product is now rice. Around 320,000 tons are grown each year representing 40 percent of the total Malian production. Large quantities of sugar cane are also grown in joint ventures between a Chinese company and the Malian state. The irrigation scheme uses of water each year corresponding to around 10 percent of the total flow of the Niger River. ==Historical development==
