• This study estimates economic returns to investments in rice varietal development in the Philippines and Bangladesh. • The net returns to IRRI and national partners' investments remain strongly positive. • However, the returns are decreasing at a faster rate in the Philippines (24%) than in Bangladesh (6%). • IRRI and national partners should continue investing in rice R&D, especially to develop superior rice varieties.
