It is our privilege and pleasure to welcome you to the 3rd International Rice Congress (IRC) to be held 8 - 12 November 2010 at the Vietnam National Convention Center, Hanoi, Vietnam. The event is hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), Vietnam, and jointly organized by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and AsiaCongress Events Management Co. Ltd (ACE).

IRC, held every four years, is the world's largest gathering of the rice industry - the industry that feeds more than half the world. The 3rd IRC - IRC2010 - also marks the 50th anniversary of IRRI. While you are here, you will be able to enjoy beautiful Hanoi, the cultural and historical city, as well as the Capital, of Vietnam. Hanoi celebrates its 1,000th anniversary in 2010.

With the theme "Rice for Future Generations", IRC2010 will provide a forum for representatives from the public and private sectors including researchers, scientists, professionals, traders, and policy makers. Delegates will discuss the latest rice research, future technologies, trade issues, and policies that will define the future role of rice in supporting the poor rice-dependent communities.
