International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)

The International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) is a non-profit independent research and training organization based in Los Baños, Laguna.

IRRI develops new rice varieties and rice crop management techniques that help rice farmers improve the yield and quality of their rice in an environmentally sustainable way. We work with our public and private sector partners in national agricultural research and extension systems in major rice-growing countries to do research, training, and knowledge transfer. Our social and economic research also informs governments to help them formulate policy to improve the equitable supply of rice.
