More than 250 people from more than 25 countries across six continents attended the 2024 International Temperate Rice Conference (ITRC) held here last week. USA Rice and the Louisiana State University AgCenter co-hosted the four-day event, and USA Rice President & CEO Peter Bachmann was on hand to welcome attendees.
“Research within the industry over the last half of a century has led to monumental breakthroughs and growth in yields and production efficiency, and when you combine this impressive group of professionals from all corners of the globe with modern technology and turn them loose, our opportunities for advancement of the world’s rice industry are limitless,” said Bachmann.
