Abstract

The objective of this paper is to, empirically; determine the factors that influence food security in the Kayes and Koulikoro Regions of Mali. The study is based on data from EMOP-2019, a permanent survey conducted by the National Institute of Statistics (INSTAT). The sample consists of 970 households, including 421 households in the Kayes region and 549 households in the Koulikoro region that responded to the food insecurity question. The descriptive statistics indicate that the prevalence of food insecurity is higher in female-headed households than in male-headed households in both regions. They also show that the prevalence of food insecurity is higher in households headed by people with no education in Kayes than in households headed by people with education. In contrast, in the Koulikoro region, it is higher in households headed by people with primary education. The results of the regression of the Logit model reveal that, among the factors that determine food insecure households in the Kayes and Koulikoro regions are the nature of the job, the practice of secondary activities, the type of activity practiced by the household, the size of the household, and the share of food expenditures in total expenditures. These factors significantly increase the probability that the household will become food insecure. These determinants work against food security. The level of education of the head of the household has a positive influence on the level of food insecurity of the household but in a decreasing manner.
