Dear members of the rice community,
The rice sector has a very important appointment! We are pleased to inform you that Panama will host two of the most important rice scientific and technological events in Latin America and around the world. From June 10-14, 2024, the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Panama City will host the XIV International Rice Conference for Latin America and the Caribbean and the 9th International Rice and Wheat Blast Conference.
The Latin American Fund for Irrigated Rice (FLAR), The Alliance Bioversity & CIAT and the Panamanian Rice Foundation (Funparroz), which brings together in Panama the companies Conagro Semillas (Agrosilos Group), SECOSA (Calesa Group) and the Federation of Rice and Grains of Panama (FEDAGPA), and whose benefits also extend to IDIAP (Instituto de Innovación Agropecuaria de Panamá) and the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences of the University of Panama, are some of the hosts of both congresses aimed at students, farmers, specialists and representatives of other sectors of the Latin American rice chain.
Under the slogan ‘Innovation to feed the world’ we are working to develop the largest technical and scientific rice event in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our goal is for participants to update their knowledge and learn about the latest global advances in rice science and technology.
We are excited to have your institution join us in this event that will include three days of lectures, panels, poster presentations, technical and commercial exhibition, a large field day, as well as related social events.
We would be delighted to count on your presence.
Cordially yours,
Eduardo Graterol, Executive Director of FLAR
María Fernanda Álvarez, Director of Crops for Nutrition and Health of the Alliance Bioversity & CIAT
