On June 26, 2025, researchers from International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) visited the SATREPS Project site. The IRRI visitors included two (2) members from the headquarters in Philippines and four (4) members from Cambodia office.

At the project site, they observed intermittent irrigation (AWD) implemented fields and tower observation equipment and then used the porch of a nearby project farmer’s house to discuss future collaboration possibilities with this SATREPS project and JIRCAS.

Going forward, we will continue to exchange information and opinions on AWD, including measures to reduce methane emissions from rice fields.
