Rice Extension

Our vision is to ensure Australian rice growers are global leaders in a sustainable rice-based farming system. This will be achieved through knowledge sharing, innovative thinking and a collaborative science-based approach.

We connect rice growers with essential information for rice-based farming systems to increase the adoption of research that improves grower productivity, profitability and sustainability.
