Autonomous, non-profit organization, with international status by treaty;

IRRI is unique!


Green revolution 1.0

1960s-70s yields ~1.5 tons/ ha.

Today yields 4+ tons/ ha.

+ Half of all rice areas in Asia are

planted to IRRI-sourced varieties.


IRRI delivered benefits of US$1.46 billion per year and boosted rice yields by an average of 11.2%.

Impact of IRRI Research

Average benefits (per ha., per year): Philippines: US$52/ha. Indonesia: US$76/ha. Vietnam : US$76/ha.


scheduled castes are likely to be a major beneficiary from the spread of Swarna-Sub1 in India.

UP/UPLB, DA/PhilRice, and IRRI: current engagements


Publications worldwide vs. publications in the Philippines

and IRRI


Collaborative research: best partnership platform

1.Joint research, toward shared goals and publications;

2.Involves not only scientists and researchers, but also faculty and graduate students, and

3.Joint investment for shared benefit (i.e. clear, shared IP rights).


Steps to re-energized, deeper collaborative research agenda

1. Institutional agreement on research collaboration;

2. Annual joint research conference: Share research agendas; Identify collaboration opportunities; Share resources, co-finance; Implement, and Jointly monitor, assess

performance.
