Progress and Activities

• The executive director of the Guyana Rice Producers Association, who attended an international rice conference in Cuba in July 2002, expressed interest in trying out SRI in his country. He had previously heard about it while visiting the China National Hybrid Rice Research and Development Center in Changsha the previous summer. We have had no information on any results, however.

• Bob Davey, who supervised the SRI evaluations by Farmer Field Schools in the Sunsari-Morang irrigation project in Nepal, is now working Guyana and is a good resource for information on the system. Ricky Roopchand, a project officer for the Guyana Rice Producers Association, visited Cornell in 2003 and got more information on SRI.
