  1. National Rice Research and Development Strategy of Ethiopia (NRRDAE)

  2. Introduction: basic facts • The potential rice production area in Ethiopia is estimated to be about seventeen million hectares • It has wider adaptation • The government has also recognized it as a millennium crop in light of ensuring food security in Ethiopia • Rice is important sector along with the focus given to Agriculture in the GoE’s poverty reduction strategy, • the 2004 Food Security Strategy (FSS), • the 2006 Plan for Accelerated and Sustained Development to End Poverty (PASDEP) • the new PASDEP is expected to incorporate the targets of this strategic document.

  3. Basic facts: Rice Production Trends • The development aspect in promoting rice production is also limited to certain areas. • However, there is an increasing trend in both area and production of the crop since 2006.

  4. Rice Suitability Map: Rain-fed Total - about 30 m ha 5.6 m ha highly suitable 25 m ha suitable

  5. Rice Suitability Map: irrigation

  6. PRIORITY AREAS AND APPROACHES • Approaches • Agro-ecology based promotion of Rice R&D • Promotion of both small-scale and commercial rice production • Gender consideration • Value chain approach promotion • Environmentally sustainability

  7. Strategies of the NRRDSE • In view of the suggested approaches and addressing the priority areas indentified, the NRRDSE is designed to have nine main strategic components namely • strengthening the institutional framework and policy development • Research, Technology Dissemination, Promotion and Capacity Building; • Seed Production, Multiplication and Dissemination of Certified Seed • fertilizer marketing and distribution; • irrigation and investment in water control technologies; • pre-harvest technologies, • post-harvest technologies • access to and maintenance of agricultural machinery and equipment; and • access to credit/ agricultural finance.

  8. Partnership arrangements • The NRRDSE will be promoting effective partnership with all stakeholders within the country and also abroad like IRRI, Africa Rice Center, JIRCAS, CARD. • The National Rice R&D Steering Committee will take the responsibility in strengthening this partnership. • In addition, the Agricultural and Rural Development Partners’ Linkage Advisory Council at federal, regional, zonal and woreda level will play in further strengthening the linkage among stakeholders.
