Don’t miss our first virtual conference!

Join us as we bring together diverse and prestigious key players in Africa's agri-food sector—including government officials, development partners, members of the research and academic community, donors and investors, the private sector, civil society, women and youth sectors, and farmers groups—to lead its transformation, empowerment, and development.

As rice becomes a strategic commodity in Africa, many countries have embarked on various programs that, along with continental initiatives, aspire to chart a course of action for moving the regional rice sector forward.

The EARC 2021 will serve as a platform for accomplishing the ambitious plan of strengthening domestic rice production by bringing together key players in the sector and initiating substantive discussions on the opportunities and challenges that it faces.
