Rice R&D Committee: 

The RIRDC Rice R&D Committee comprises:

• A chair;

• Eight grower delegates (elected from the eight branches of the Ricegrowers' Association);

• Two delegates nominated by Ricegrowers' Limited/NSW Rice Marketing Board;

• Three independent technical experts;

• The RIRDC program manager for rice; and

• An appointee of the Central Executive of the Ricegrowers' Association.

The committee is supported by two liaison groups, which play a proactive role in liaising with R&D agencies to develop and manage projects that meet committee and RIRDC R&D Plan priorities.

The grower delegates report twice yearly to their Ricegrowers' Association branch meetings on the R&D program. These meetings provide a further opportunity for growers to raise any concerns that need to be considered in both annual and longer term planning.
