3. Strategy for Rice Production Increase
Sub-sector Strategy
Seeds
(National seed policy)		 - Foundation seed to be produced by IER and multiplied by contract farmers.
- Privatization of the production and distribution of certified seeds
Phytogenetic resources - Preserve and maintenance of genetic resources for new variety development
- Construction of infrastructure (cold rooms)
- Human resources development in seed technologies
- Adoption of bills, decrees, and technical regulations
Fertilizers Provision of credit for inputs by organized producers (existing) through a network of saving and credit banks.
Post harvest & marketing Enhance competitiveness of local rice by improving storage, processing with consistent support of research institutions and development of processing sector
Irrigation &water control National Strategy for Irrigation Development (SNDI) in 1999.
More involvement of private sector for investment and beneficiaries for development
Strengthening of
research and extension		 Development of improved varieties (short growth duration ) and crop production techniques; Dissemination of developed techniques
Agricultural loan A national fund for agricultural development, disaster fund, guarantee fund.
