A deeper understanding of the rice plant, its production, and postharvest operations were the aim of a training course on rice seed production and purification held recently in Kenya.

Twenty-seven researchers and techniciansfrom public and private sector organizations in Kenya, including women, registered for the course.

The training course was organized by IRRI, in collaboration with the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI-Kibos) and was held on 4-7 December 2013 at the Ahero National Irrigation Board (NIB) in Kisumu.
