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 35 kilometres (22 mi) downstream of Ségou. The water is used to irrigate nearly 100,000 hectares (390 sq mi) 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. T

  • Das Office du Niger (O.N.) ist das größte Bewässerungsprojekt im westlichen Sahel in Mali. Das Projekt wurde 1932 mit der Zielvorgabe begonnen, im südwestlichen Niger-Binnendelta (auch totes Delta (delta mort) genannt), zwischen Ségou und mauretanischer Grenze weitflächigen Baumwollanbau für die französische Textilindustrie zu betreiben. Das Projekt stand unter der Leitung des französischen Ingenieurs in Französisch-Sudan (später nach der Kolonialzeit: Mali). (de)

  • L’Office du Niger est un périmètre de culture irriguée aménagé sur le delta intérieur du Niger au Mali, à environ 250 km en aval de la capitale Bamako. Initié par les autorités françaises dans les années 1920, le projet destiné à l’origine à satisfaire les besoins d’approvisionnement en coton des industries textiles françaises a connu de nombreux revers. Repris en main par les autorités maliennes à l’indépendance du pays en 1960, l’Office du Niger est réformé et la culture du coton y est abandonnée au profit du riz. (fr)
