Box: 811, Vientiane, Laos. Summary Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao P.D.R or Laos). It is grown and consumed nationwide and recently in this country both modern and traditional rice varieties have been used. Diversity of variety and its conservation are important for future use of such genetic resources. The provinces of Xiengkhouang and Houaphan, located in the north eastern region of Laos, are well known as major producers of Khao Kai Noi (KKN), a traditional rice variety. In order to observe the diversity of rice, especially of KKN in these two provinces, we conducted a survey and sample collection during the harvest season from October 16th to November 1st, 2014. We visited paddy fields where KKN was found. We identified and interviewed the farm owners and requested for rice panicles. We majorly focused on the collection of KKN but also collected other traditional rice varieties that were grown in the same farmer’s paddy field.

    L’intégration des minorités ethniques et des régions montagneuses du nord du Laos : Le cas de la province de Luang Namtha, 1995-2015 Mémoire Vincent Rolland Maitrise en sciences géographiques Maitre en sciences géographiques (M. Sc. géogr.) Québec, Canada © Vincent Rolland, 2017 L’intégration des minorités ethniques et des régions montagneuses du nord du Laos : Le cas de la province de Luang Namtha, 1995-2015 Mémoire Vincent Rolland Sous la direction de : Steve Déry, directeur de recherche Résumé Depuis le début des années 1980, les changements politico-économiques organisés par l’État laotien ont remodelé le visage du pays. Ces changements œuvrent tant pour une plus grande intégration aux marchés économiques internationaux qu’à la construction nationale du pays. Les conséquences de ces transformations sont notamment visibles dans le paysage rural et montagnard, comme dans l’évolution des moyens de subsistance et des modes de vie des populations ethniques minoritaires. Le développement récent des plantations agro-commerciales contribue, entre autres, à réorganiser la géographie socioéconomique des provinces du nord du pays, dont celle de la province de Luang Namtha. Comment les populations locales s’adaptent-elles à ces transformations rapides ? Quels changements cela implique-t-il ? Cette recherche, qui emploie une approche multiscalaire, aide à comprendre les rouages de l’intégration et de l’adaptation locale aux systèmes nationaux et internationaux. MOTS-CLES : Laos, intégration, monde rural, minorités ethniques, moyens de subsistance, adaptation. ii Abstract Since the beginning of the 1980s, the political and economic changes undertaken by the Laotian State have reshaped the face of the country. These changes work to foster greater integration into international markets and to further develop the country.

Corresponding author : H. OKUIZUMI (e-mail : [email protected]) Summary Since 2006, the National Institute of Agrobiological Sciences (NIAS), Japan, has been collaborating on the surveying and exploring on the Plant Genetic Resources (PGR) under the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the National Agriculture and Forestry Research Institute (NAFRI) of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao P.D.R., Laos). The KAKEN mission was conducted from 16th Oct. to 1st Nov. 2014. In this mission, seeds of 19 samples of Sorghum bicolor, 5 samples of Zea mays, 4 samples of Setaria italica and one sample of Eleusine coracana were acquired. The collecting sites were Xiengkhuang and Houaphanh provinces. Topographically, those regions are located within the ranges of latitude: 19°-21°, longitude: 102°-105° and altitude: 269-1,393 m above the sea level. These seed samples will be multiplied in the field of the Agriculture Research Center (ARC) , Genebank, Laos to study their growth characteristics to share genetic resources between Laos and Japan.
