Northern rice farming improvements sow seeds of kao kainoi success in Laos
VIENTIANE (Vientiane Times/ANN) – Farmers in Laos’ two northern provinces of Xieng Khuang and Huaphan have witnessed increased yields and quality from seven seed varieties of local khao kainoi rice.
The Agro-Biodiversity Initiative (TABI) is continuing its programme to assist farmers in the provinces of Xieng Khuang and Huaphan to improve the quality of khao kainoi seeds, thereby ensuring food security in the communities and better returns for farmers.
The project has now expanded to nine districts of the two provinces through khao kainoi rice seed production development networks.
