enhance the level of the event and you will have the opportunity to know the hospitality of
the Cuban people.
The objective of the event is to contribute the transference of technologies, to encourage the
updating of knowledge about genetic diversity as well as sustainable and efficient practices in
production of rice, beans, maize, sorghum, soybeans, and other grains.
The main themes to be approach at 6 th INTERNATIONAL MEETING OF RICE and II
INTERNATIONAL SIMPOSIUM OF GRAINS will be the following:


