Abstract/Description

The project engages farm families in participatory varietal selection (PVS) strategy to accelerate NERICA dissemination. The objective of the project is to help small-scale producers in the seven pilot countries to improve rice production and incomes through the dissemination of NERICA and other improved varieties and complementary technology. About 80% of the targeted beneficiaries of the project are the rural poor, mostly women.
