The document summarizes rice research at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) in Latin America and the Caribbean. It notes that rice is a staple crop in the region and demand is growing, but production faces challenges from climate change, high fertilizer prices, and narrow genetic diversity. CIAT's rice program aims to develop eco-efficient rice varieties with higher yields, nutrient content, stress tolerance, and water/fertilizer efficiency to ensure food security through partnerships with other organizations in the region. The program will provide improved rice germplasm, broaden genetic resources, establish evaluation platforms, and transfer technologies to farmers to boost sustainable production.
