Provision of rice varieties with superior quality attributes and a ready market is the basic necessity for the continued sustainability of Australian rice growers and the overall rice industry. Project Rice Quality V runs parallel with Project Rice Improvement III to ensure that released varieties such as Sherpa have both the grain quality and agronomic performance that will enable the approximately 4000 rice growers in the Murrumbidgee, Coleambally and Murray Irrigation Areas to be productive, have market entry and be able to command competitive process for their produce.
