International Rice Congress

Summary

The 4th International Rice Congress (IRC2014) is being held in Bangkok, Thailand from Tuesday 27 October to 1 November 2014. The IRC2014 theme is ‘Rice for the World’ and the program will incorporate the 29th International Rice Research Conference and the 5th Temperate Rice Conference.The Congress will be a very valuable forum for the Australian rice industry – an opportunity to share and learn about the best available technology to improve all aspects of industry productivity and sustainability. The Ricegrowers’ Association of Australia Inc. (RGA) and the RIRDC Rice R&D Committee (RRDC) believe it is in the best interests of the industry to be represented at the Congress by a team covering rice production, processing, research and development and extension.A project to fund a team to attend the Congress was prepared by the RGA and funding for up to five people was recently approved by the RIRDC Rice R&D Committee. The Rice Breeding Partnership (a partnership between NSW DPI, SunRice and RIRDC) will also fund 45 rice researchers from the breeding program to attend IRC2014.http://ricecongress.com/2014/
