Small holder rice project

Small holder rice project to benefit WNB

The project is expected to be rolled out soon following the successful pilot project.

Each block is harvesting more than four tons with one farmer who trialed out the Dongara variety harvesting five tons in one hectare.

Participants at the Trukai Mini Rice Field day at Kapore last Thursday were assured that will be purchasing the rice, with much of it going into milling for consumption.

Trukai’s Agriculture Manager, Jarrod Pirie, said Trukai Industries will provide training and the market for the small holder program.
