There are many rice research institutes in the world, including ones in Brazil,
China, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, Philippines (IRRI), Spain,
Taiwan, Thailand, and the United States. New results on rice research are being
produced every year.
In the United States, public rice-breeding programs are located in the
following states:
• Rice Research and Extension Center, Stuttgart, AR
• Rice Experiment Station, Biggs, CA
• Rice Research Station, Crowley, LA
• Texas Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Beaumont, TX
• Delta Branch Experiment Station, Stoneville, MS and
• Everglades Research and Extension Center, Belle Glade, FL.
Public cultivars have accounted for more than 90% of the US acreage. There
are several private rice research programs in the United States as follows:
• Busch Agricultural Resources, Inc., Pleasant Grove, CA, and Jonesboro, AR
• N.F. Davis Drier and Elevator, Inc., Firebaugh, CA
