Participatory plant breeding (PPB) is a relatively new approach for germplasm development, which includes crop improvement and participatory varietal selection (PVS). In Cuba, PPB started on rice crop in 2001, based upon PVS that was centralized at the beginning; however, it was further participatory and decentralized. This work study was aimed at presenting the experiences gathered on rice crop, not only in some regions of Cuba but also over the world. In our country, diversity fairs constituted the best form for providing a quick and efficient varietal entry through non-specialized rice growers.
