About the Center
The Rice Science Center at Kasetsart University links the whole rice value chain — from upstream research and rice variety development with genomics and molecular breeding, to downstream farmers who grow and benefit from the new varieties, as well as the export industry (rice DNA testing) and environmental care, with research on reducing water use and greenhouse gas emissions.
