GAP components were introduced to the irrigated rice farmers of Menabe rice hub in Madagascar. Yields increased from 2t/ha to 4t/ha with GAP. The participating farmers share their views and experience with testing good agricultural practices. yt:video:x9J1KgD_hzE x9J1KgD_hzE UClrmd3tnPL8dLFOFOh4el3w africaricecenter https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClrmd3tnPL8dLFOFOh4el3w 2022-02-07T16:41:58+00:00 2026-05-05T00:22:19+00:00 Culture de contre-saison Off-season crop diversification The practice of off-season crops allows a double valorization of the farm and therefore a double annual production for the producers. They are both an additional resource to meet the food needs of the household and a source of additional income for them. Seasonal crop rotation, such as alternating rice and leafy vegetables, and crop diversification are encouraged because of their importance in maintaining soil productivity. This video explains the interests and practices of producers in the Vakinankaratra region, as well as the actions undertaken by AfricaRice regarding off-season crops in this area. yt:video:vGbtkiun-Ks vGbtkiun-Ks UClrmd3tnPL8dLFOFOh4el3w africaricecenter https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClrmd3tnPL8dLFOFOh4el3w 2022-02-07T16:38:32+00:00 2026-04-22T22:09:55+00:00 Etuvage riz GEM Rice parboiling using GEM AfricaRice and partners have developed an improved rice parboiling technology called "GEM"-grain quality, energy-efficient, durable material and women-friendly parboiling system that produces rice with better physical, taste and nutritional quality than traditional technology. It helps rural women produce cleaner, higher quality rice at a higher price in the local market, enabling them to improve their economic prospects and build a better future for themselves and their families, as they testify. yt:video:7TBEQDdKspQ 7TBEQDdKspQ UClrmd3tnPL8dLFOFOh4el3w africaricecenter https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClrmd3tnPL8dLFOFOh4el3w 2022-02-07T16:32:10+00:00 2026-04-29T05:37:26+00:00 Sarcleuse motorisée Motorized weeder The locally adapted two-row Motorized Paddy Weeder was developed in collaboration with private fabricators in Menabe hub of Madagascar. The weeder can be used in irrigated and rainfed lowland systems and can save labour for weeding up to 80%.

PVS is also an important feedback mechanism on the needs and preferences of rice growers and consumers that guides the next generation of rice varietal development. AfricaRice has adopted PVS as a standard protocol to provide rice growers an opportunity to interact and co-develop the new varieties. Regular PVS exercises have contributed for the efficiency of rice breeding program in delivering relevant varieties while it also ensures quick and large scale adoption of the new varieties. yt:video:l0u84F04LeA l0u84F04LeA UClrmd3tnPL8dLFOFOh4el3w africaricecenter https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClrmd3tnPL8dLFOFOh4el3w 2021-05-15T06:20:54+00:00 2026-04-13T16:30:14+00:00 AfricaRice helping rice farmers in Africa with big data and digital tools The data and knowledge products generated by AfricaRice are valuable assets especially for its member states and other African countries. The efficient collection and management of data from AfricaRice research programs and rapid open access to this information are vital for researchers to draw conclusions, which will generate development impact in Africa. yt:video:fyTER5tDzeY fyTER5tDzeY UClrmd3tnPL8dLFOFOh4el3w africaricecenter https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClrmd3tnPL8dLFOFOh4el3w 2020-11-12T09:15:41+00:00 2026-05-04T15:06:47+00:00 Sensibilisation du DG d'AfricaRice sur la COVID 19 yt:video:ojwfeONeTvI ojwfeONeTvI UClrmd3tnPL8dLFOFOh4el3w africaricecenter https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClrmd3tnPL8dLFOFOh4el3w 2020-11-11T16:46:16+00:00 2026-04-22T17:34:26+00:00 AfricaRice DG’s Sensitizing video on COVID 19 yt:video:oAsbX-cq_Sg oAsbX-cq_Sg UClrmd3tnPL8dLFOFOh4el3w africaricecenter https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClrmd3tnPL8dLFOFOh4el3w 2020-10-16T16:51:06+00:00 2026-04-29T22:23:07+00:00 Smart-valleys: A farmer-led approach to fight climate change in Africa 'Smart-valleys’ is a climate-smart, low-cost, participatory approach to develop lowlands for rice-based systems. The approach is being used by farmers in Benin, Togo, Burkina Faso, Liberia and Sierra Leone and now Cote d’Ivoire. It allows rice yields to double through improved water control, with only limited additional cost for the producers compared to common approaches with high investment costs. Smart-valleys are more sustainable because they are developed and constructed by farmers themselves.

Rice consumption in Africa is growing faster than that of any other major staple. It is West Africa’s single most important source of dietary energy and the third most important for sub-Saharan Africa.
