To advance common objectives of promoting and acceleratingresearch, technology promotion, and delivery on rice and rice-based farming systems, the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), Department of Agriculture (DA), and the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) held a workplan meeting with the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) at PhilRice, Muñoz, Nueva Ecija, September 1-2, 2003.

The event also sought to improve the coordination and management of partnerships between the said institutions. Specifically, the workplan meeting was the venue to review the progress of Philippine research institutions and IRRI’s collaboration efforts; come up with a workplan and detailed action plan for 2004 to 2006; cite new priority areas that effect greater impact to rice farmers; and identify strategies to improve and promote awareness of the collaboration between the Philippines and IRRI.

PhilRice Executive Director Leocadio Sebastian acknowledged IRRI’s role as a dominant force in the development of new rice varieties in the country, and stressed the need for the involved institutions to identify areas where they can work individually, and as a team. Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR) Director William C. Medrano emphasized the challenge of feeding a growing population from dwindling resources, and pledged BAR’s support to the effort. In a message, Dr. William G. Padolina, deputy director-general for partnerships at IRRI, underscored the need to feel a sense of urgency in developing and delivering technologies to farmers.
