About AfricaRice
Africa Rice conducts research and development focused on rice-based agri-food systems. Programs develop improved rice varieties tolerant to pests, diseases, and climate stresses, and generate agronomy, soil and water management practices. The organization curates rice genetic resources and breeding lines and supports seed system development with evidence and technical guidance. Decision-support tools and digital advisory services inform nutrient management, varietal choice, and cropping calendars. Capacity-strengthening includes training, manuals, and open knowledge platforms for researchers, extension agents and small enterprises. Work also spans mechanization and postharvest technologies, value-chain performance, and policy and market studies that guide sector planning. Publications, datasets, and partnerships enable testing and dissemination of innovations across the rice value chain.
