IRRI in Los Baños

IRRI, the International Rice Research Institute, was established in Los Baños, Philippines in 1960. Since
then we have developed many positive and productive relationships with partners in the region and across
the Philippines. In doing so we have made progress towards fulfilling our mission to reduce poverty and
hunger, improve the health of rice farmers and consumers, and ensure that rice production is
environmentally sustainable.

There is still much that can be done towards achieving our mission and our work with our partners in Los
Baños and in the Philippines will continue for many years to come.

 Following a hunt throughout Asia in the 1950s Los Baños in the Philippines was selected as the most
advantageous location for an agricultural research program to expand food production in Asia. It was
recognized as an emerging hub of agricultural science and economics and that the government of the
Republic of the Philippines was supportive of research, teaching, and extension programs to improve
farm management.

Los Baños has continued to build its reputation as a center for natural resource and agricultural science
since the establishment of IRRI in 1960. The University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) has
expanded significantly, and many new institutions have made Los Baños their home including the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Center for Biodiversity, the Philippine Rice Research
Institute (PhilRice), the Philippine Carabao Center, Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and
Natural Resources Research and Development (PCARRD), and the Southeast Asian Regional Center for
Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARC

The park was conceptualized by the Landmark Entertainment Group and modeled after Knott's Berry Farm. It was built at a cost
of P1.2-billion. The park first opened on July 28, 1995.Accidents[] "Space Shuttle" ride

On December 12, 2007, 5:30 p.m., many riders hung mid-air when the "Space Shuttle" roller coaster ride stalled on the ride's
boomerang (cobra roll element). Rescuers arrived and assisted the 25 passengers - mostly students - and brought them down to
the ground. The ride first stalled on June 19, 2004 with 25 people onboard. [1] A Meralco crane arrived and 25 trapped students
(from the University of Batangas in Batangas City, Holy Infant Jesus of Prague Catholic School in Biñan, Laguna and Felizardo
Lipana National High School in Guiguinto, Bulacan) were rescued safely and brought to St. James Hospital in Sta. Rosa City for
treatment of possible injuries.[2] The shuttle reopened on December 25, 2007, but closed for renovations and will resume
operations by fourth quarter 2009.[3]
"Exodus" ride

On January 4, 2008, a 21-year-old woman suffered a broken leg after she rode "Exodus". The accident took her 2 months to walk,
as the management apologized but stated that it will not pay for any damages. As the result, the exodus ride was closed to the
public.[4]
