CGIAR Breeding for Tomorrow 148d ago

The podcast delves into the brief document that outlines a research paper from 2024 that analyzes rice milling capacity utilization among processors in Uganda. The study specifically examines how different domestically grown rice varieties impact this utilization and identifies varietal traits that could potentially improve it. It highlights that the WITA 9 variety is linked to higher capacity use and suggests incorporating its traits, as well as focusing on breeding for medium-length aromatic and nonaromatic rice, in future seed development to address the current low milling capacity utilization. The paper is an open-access brief from the CGIAR Initiative on Market Intelligence.
