3rd Africa Rice Congress, 21-24 October 2013, Yaoundé, Cameroon
     

Introduction

The Third Africa Rice Congress – to be held from 21-24 October 2013, in Yaoundé, Cameroon – will have as its main theme: ‘Rice Science for Food Security through Smallholder and Agri-business Development in Africa’. The Congress will bring together representatives from the public and private sector, civil society organizations, farmer associations and research and extension communities engaged in the development of Africa’s rice sector.

The Congress will take stock of advances in rice science and technology aimed at improving production, processing and marketing practices across the rice value chain in Africa. The Congress will also provide opportunity to discuss institutional innovations, policies and key investments needed to significantly increase rice production, processing and marketing in sub-Saharan Africa, thereby developing competitive and equitable rice value chains, reducing imports and enhancing regional trade.

The Africa Rice Congress will be organized by the Africa Rice Center (AfricaRice) in collaboration with the Government of Cameroon.
