East and Southern Africa
 Population in Kenya- estimated at
45 million
 Rice consumption- 300,000 tons
 Rice production in Kenya <
100,000 tons
 Deficit- 200,000 tons is imported
 Rice is grown in Irrigation
schemes
 Rice is grown in irrigation schemes that are
managed by National Irrigation Board (NIB)
 NIB is a Government organization-
parastatal
 Schemes include Mwea, Ahero, Bunyala and
West Kano
 Mwea is the largest and produces covering
30,000 ha of which only 6000 ha are
utilized
 Average production is estimated at 3t/ha
 My initial involvement
 Left Cornell in May 2009 after Hubert
Humphrey program and MPS IARD
 First SRI meeting in August 2009 at
Mwea
 Launched evaluation and
demonstration of SRI
 Prof Bancy Mati- JKUAT
 Two farmers who attended the first
SRI meeting decided to try it to find
out whether it works
 Moses Kareithi and Mathew Kamanu
 2009 – 2 farmers
 2010 – 30 farmers
 2011- By end of 20112000 farmers
had adopted SRI
Moses Kareithi in his SRI rice field in Mwea
SRI Early Adopter
 Mathew’s rice field at
Mwea Irrigation
Scheme. Mathew was
one of the first two
farmers who adopted
SRI in 2009
 Institutions that support SRI
 JKUAT
 NIB
 MIAD
 World Bank
 World Bank Institute
 AICAD
 Focus of support;
 Research and extension services
 AICAD supported the initial on-station
research for evaluation and demonstration of
SRI in Mwea
 JKUAT Innovation fund in 2010 provided seed
funding for three years to support research
and outreach activities in Mwea
 Research included yield, water savings,
cost/benefits analysis etc.
 PhD and MSc students have undertaken
research on SRI
 Manages irrigation schemes in Kenya
 In 2011 NIB provided funding for SRI
awareness in other schemes
(previously focus was mainly in Mwea)
 Ahero, Bunyala, West Kano and Mwea
 Training and awareness creation
campaigns
 Training at farmers’ fields
 Training of trainers and field visits including
staff of NIB and farmers
 By 2012 115 farmers were attended TOt
 Exchange visits by farmers from different
schemes
 Training manuals
 Radio broadcasts, films etc
 World Bank Institute supported SRI trainers
from Japan and India
 Yield increases have been reported of
9 tons per ha under SRI compared to 5
tons per ha of the low yielding
basmati variety under conventional
practices
 17 tons per ha under SRI have been
reported compared to 9 tons per ha
under conventional practices of the
high yielding IR variety
 Water savings of 25% in dry weather and 33%
in wet weather have been reported
 A bag of SRI paddy weighs10-20kg more
 Grain breakage- when milled SRI grain has
less breakage
 Malaria control- research showed SRI has
prospects for malaria control.
 SRI water management breaks the mosquito
breeding cycle. The larvae die within 2 days
after paddy fields dry
 SRI contribution to food
security
 Rice consumption increasing
rapidly due to changing life
styles
 SRI can reduce the rice
importation bill

  • 1. Cornell University, October 7 2016 Jean Njiru Supply Chain Network Manager Purdue Improved Crop Storage Project East and Southern Africa
  • 2.  Population in Kenya- estimated at 45 million  Rice consumption- 300,000 tons  Rice production in Kenya < 100,000 tons  Deficit- 200,000 tons is imported  Rice is grown in Irrigation schemes
  • 3.  Rice is grown in irrigation schemes that are managed by National Irrigation Board (NIB)  NIB is a Government organization- parastatal  Schemes include Mwea, Ahero, Bunyala and West Kano  Mwea is the largest and produces covering 30,000 ha of which only 6000 ha are utilized  Average production is estimated at 3t/ha
  • 4.  My initial involvement  Left Cornell in May 2009 after Hubert Humphrey program and MPS IARD  First SRI meeting in August 2009 at Mwea  Launched evaluation and demonstration of SRI  Prof Bancy Mati- JKUAT
  • 5.  Two farmers who attended the first SRI meeting decided to try it to find out whether it works  Moses Kareithi and Mathew Kamanu  2009 – 2 farmers  2010 – 30 farmers  2011- By end of 20112000 farmers had adopted SRI
  • 6. Moses Kareithi in his SRI rice field in Mwea SRI Early Adopter
  • 7.  Mathew’s rice field at Mwea Irrigation Scheme. Mathew was one of the first two farmers who adopted SRI in 2009
  • 8.  Institutions that support SRI  JKUAT  NIB  MIAD  World Bank  World Bank Institute  AICAD  Focus of support;  Research and extension services
  • 9.  AICAD supported the initial on-station research for evaluation and demonstration of SRI in Mwea  JKUAT Innovation fund in 2010 provided seed funding for three years to support research and outreach activities in Mwea  Research included yield, water savings, cost/benefits analysis etc.  PhD and MSc students have undertaken research on SRI
  • 10.  Manages irrigation schemes in Kenya  In 2011 NIB provided funding for SRI awareness in other schemes (previously focus was mainly in Mwea)  Ahero, Bunyala, West Kano and Mwea  Training and awareness creation campaigns
  • 11.  Training at farmers’ fields  Training of trainers and field visits including staff of NIB and farmers  By 2012 115 farmers were attended TOt  Exchange visits by farmers from different schemes  Training manuals  Radio broadcasts, films etc  World Bank Institute supported SRI trainers from Japan and India
  • 12.  Yield increases have been reported of 9 tons per ha under SRI compared to 5 tons per ha of the low yielding basmati variety under conventional practices  17 tons per ha under SRI have been reported compared to 9 tons per ha under conventional practices of the high yielding IR variety
  • 13.  Water savings of 25% in dry weather and 33% in wet weather have been reported  A bag of SRI paddy weighs10-20kg more  Grain breakage- when milled SRI grain has less breakage  Malaria control- research showed SRI has prospects for malaria control.  SRI water management breaks the mosquito breeding cycle. The larvae die within 2 days after paddy fields dry
  • 14.  SRI contribution to food security  Rice consumption increasing rapidly due to changing life styles  SRI can reduce the rice importation bill
