An international team led by AfricaRice received the prestigious T W Schultz Prize for Best Contributed Paper at the 28th International Conference of Agricultural Economists.
CIAT has conducted the workshop “Sharing experiences in modeling rice and beans”. It was attended by representatives from national and international organizations.
The group earned 294,000 dollars from their crop of NERICA, the New Rice for Africa, an improved variety that’s proving to be well-matched to the low soil fertility in the region.
