The Sustainable Rice Conference and Exhibition 2019 is an event where the principles of resource efficiency and sustainability in the rice sector are championed. Hosted by the Sustainable Rice Platform (SRP), a multi-stakeholder partnership, the event is designed to address the critical sustainability challenges that rice production faces today. With support from the UN Environment and the International Rice Research Institute, the SRP has been actively working since December 2011 to foster collaboration among public and private sectors, as well as the NGO community, to promote sustainable practices throughout the rice value chain.

Attendees of this prestigious event are provided with a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue and exchange ideas on innovative solutions. The conference is structured to facilitate discussions among SRP members and dialogue partners, focusing on collaborative approaches that can be implemented to overcome the sustainability hurdles in the rice industry. Through a series of presentations, panel discussions, and workshops, participants are encouraged to explore new strategies and technologies that can enhance resource efficiency on farms and across the entire rice value chain.

The exhibition component of the event showcases cutting-edge advancements and sustainable practices that are being adopted worldwide. Exhibitors are given a platform to present their solutions, products, and services that contribute to a more sustainable rice sector. This is an invaluable chance to connect with industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers who are committed to driving change and fostering a more sustainable future for rice production. By participating in this event, exhibitors can gain visibility and recognition within the global rice community, paving the way for new partnerships and business opportunities.
