Social Media Toolkit
#EARConline social media toolkit
Considering the increasing importance of rice in Africa in general and in East Africa in particular, it will be important to discuss and share experiences among countries in relation to the existing challenges and emerging opportunities, in the effort to ensure adequate domestic production to fulfill the ever-increasing demand.
