The project Stress-Tolerant Rice for Africa and South Asia (STRASA) began at the end of 2007 with IRRI in collaboration with AfricaRice to develop and deliver rice varieties tolerant of abiotic stresses to the millions of farmers in the unfavorable rice-growing environments.

Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, STRASA aims to deliver the improved varieties to at least 18 million farmers in the two regions and beyond.
