Speaking at the Inception meeting of 'Sustainable and Diversified Rice-based Farming Systems Project' under PRUNSAR, AfricaRice, M'bé, Côte d'Ivoire, 2-3 July 2019
AfricaRice teams up with national partners to sustainably intensify rice-based systems in Africa
The Africa Rice Center (AfricaRice), in close collaboration with national partners, has launched a high-potential project in which research will be put into effective use to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Africa by promoting a range of sustainable intensification and diversification innovations for rice-based systems, while reducing their environmental footprint.
The project titled ‘Sustainable and Diversified Rice-based Farming Systems’ is conducted under the ‘Putting Research into Use for Nutrition, Sustainable Agriculture and Resilience (PRUNSAR)’ program co-funded by the European Union (EU) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).

Dule Zhao, AfricaRice Program Leader, Genetic Diversity and Improvement speaking at the Field Day to showcase the performance of hybrid rice varieties developed by AfricaRice, 26-27 June 2019, AfricaRice, M’bé, Côte d’Ivoire
AfricaRice hybrid rice varieties spark seed companies’ interest in Africa
A set of four high-yielding hybrid rice varieties with excellent grain quality, developed by AfricaRice, elicited strong interest from key stakeholders, especially seed companies and farmers, during field days at AfricaRice research station in M’bé, Côte d’Ivoire, 26-27 June 2019.
The field days to showcase the performance of AfricaRice-developed hybrids were organized by the Rice Value Chain Compact of the ‘Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT)’ program, which is funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) as part of its ‘Feed Africa’ strategy.
The hybrids showcased in the field days included AR051H, an aromatic variety with high-yield potential (12-13 t/ha under favorable conditions and about 9 t/ha in farmers’ fields) and milling recovery of 80%. Developed by AfricaRice, AR051H, was released by the Senegalese Institute of Agricultural Research (ISRA) as ISRIZ-9 in 2017.

Interview de Cheikh Oumar Ly, AfricaRice Research Assistant, Genetic Diversity and Improvement, lors de Journées portes ouvertes pour la démonstration des performances des variétés de riz hybride développées par AfricaRice, 26-27 Juin 2019, AfricaRice, M’bé, Côte d’Ivoire
Les variétés hybrides de riz d'AfricaRice suscitent l'intérêt des entreprises semencières en Afrique
Un ensemble de quatre variétés de riz hybrides à haut rendement dotées d’une excellente qualité de grain, mis au point par AfricaRice, a suscité un vif intérêt de la part des acteurs clés, en particulier les entreprises semencières et les agriculteurs, lors des journées portes ouvertes qui ont eu lieu les 26 et 27 juin 2019 à la station de recherche d’AfricaRice à M'bé, en Côte d'Ivoire.
Les journées portes ouvertes pour présenter les performances des hybrides mis au point par AfricaRice ont été organisées par le Compact Chaîne de valeur du riz du programme « Technologies pour la transformation de l’agriculture en Afrique (TAAT) », qui est financé par la Banque africaine de développement (BAD) dans le cadre de sa stratégie « Nourrir l’Afrique ».
Parmi les hybrides présentés lors des journées portes ouvertes, on peut citer AR051H, une variété parfumée à fort potentiel de rendement (12-13 t/ha dans des conditions favorables et environ 9 t/ha en milieu paysan) et un rendement à l’usinage de 80 %. Mise au point par AfricaRice, la variété AR051H a été homologuée en 2017 par l'Institut sénégalais de recherches agricoles (ISRA) sous le nom ISRIZ-9.
