IRRI is one of the great scientific institutes of Asia, but it cannot rest on its laurels.
To attract the best, it must have the best. It must constantly renovate and build to maintain its momentum.
To attract the world’s best and brightest, IRRI must have world-class facilities. But that’s not all. To conduct cutting-edge science, the Institute also needs access to the most advanced technologies and equipment. We need to equip cherished historical buildings for new ways of research, teaching, and learning, and we must be a model for environmentally sound development and operations.
As Asia’s oldest and largest international rice research institute, the IRRI campus is in a state of constant evolution to meet the scientific demands of the 21st century. The Institute is also a showcase facility that is visited by thousands of scientists every year from around the world who come to see the very latest in techniques and equipment.

IRRI has 27,000 square meters of laboratories and research offices specializing in various fields, including the development of elite rice varieties, soil and water sciences, and the study of grain quality.

Greenhouses and Screenhouses
IRRI has more than 31,000 square meters of greenhouses and screenhouses that play a fundamental role in all our rice breeding work, especially in such areas as climate change.
