Description
Upgrading local rice yields involves implementing improved cultivation techniques, high-yield seed varieties, efficient water management, and integrated pest control to boost productivity and food security. This strategy addresses low output caused by outdated farming practices, poor soil fertility, and pest infestations. By providing farmer training, access to quality inputs, and support services, it aims to increase harvests, raise incomes, and reduce vulnerability to food shortages in rice-dependent communities.
Implementation
With assistance from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) that has resulted in improved crop yields, Asian rice farmers have saved US$ 12 million on pesticides and governments over US$ 150 million a year in pesticide subsidies.
