In November, the Taiwan Technical Mission in Haiti is continuing its inspections of rice seed production fields. The technical team is carefully examining the plots to identify plants belonging to other varieties and to record the inspection findings.

This step is essential for ensuring seed quality prior to harvest. Early detection of off-type plants allows farmers to remove them, thereby preserving the varietal purity of the seeds.

Seed production requires rigorous management to ensure the availability of high-quality seeds for the upcoming agricultural season, ultimately contributing to improved rice yields.

Following these inspections, the program team and the farmers are preparing for the harvest of the year’s second agricultural cycle.
