At the recent Rice Market & Technology Convention, RiceTec's Senior Grain Quality Scientist, @Rusty Bautista, shared the remarkable strides made in rice breeding and technologies over several decades. These advancements have played a pivotal role in elevating milled rice production to cater to the needs of over half the world's population while facing limited acreage and evolving climate patterns. Rusty highlighted, "Hybrid rice, with its resilience and environmental benefits, presents a sustainable solution. It not only requires fewer inputs but also emits significantly lower greenhouse gases compared to inbred varieties."
