In 1997, SDC began funding a regional partnership program between 11 rice-growing countries in South and Southeast Asia and the Philippines-based International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), named the Irrigated Rice Research Consortium (IRRC). The countries involved are Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

This partnership program has helped to identify and address problems of each country’s irrigated rice production by developing and testing rice-growing technologies and crop-management approaches in farmers’ fields. The focus is on more efficient use of resources such as land, labor, water, and fertilizer leading to sustained, environmentally friendly increases in production.
