Miracle Rice Transforms Life of Filipino Farmer Pedro Dizon
Pedro Dizon a 47 year old tenant farmer in central Luzon rose from gambling and debt to a prolific producer after adopting IR 8 miracle rice. In 1967 his 30 acre farm yielded 931 cavans nearly quadrupling his 1966 crop, aided by the IR 8 strain developed by IRRI and funded by international groups. The program and fertilizer use boosted income, enabling self reliance and new cropping options despite a typhoon setback.
