The satellite - generated maps, developed by the
International Rice
Research Institute in
collaboration with sarmap and the Department of Agriculture - Philippine Rice
Research Institute (DA - PhilRice), show that flooding has affected about 1,800 hectares of standing rice crop
across 15 municipalities and that the typhoon badly damaged buildings where harvested rice may have been stored.
All the programmes involve
collaboration across the continent, including between French - speaking and English - speaking countries, and with
international research centres.
