FOREWORDThe New Rice for Africa (NERICA) has been spreading rapidly inrice varieties was introduced in 1996. In 2006, a conservativeestimate of area grown to NERICA varieties in SSA was about200,000 hectares. Further spread is hampered by a lack of readily well as the recommended production practices. Even the publishedmaterial that exists has been rather scattered and sometimesanecdotal, thereby reducing its value to researchers, extension staff,farmers and consumers.the NERICA varieties, ranging from the choice of land to planting,integrated crop and pest management, harvest and post-harvestoperations, agro-processing technologies and NERICA nutritionalquality, and adoption impact on rice farmers’ livelihoods.Further contributions to the knowledge base on NERICA arewelcomed and their channeling encouraged through the AfricanRice Initiative (ARI), which is hosted by WARDA.On behalf of WARDA’s Board and Management, I wish to expressour appreciation to the United Nations Food and AgricultureOrganization (FAO), the African Development Bank (ADB) andthe compilation of this compendium.Dr Papa A.
