Rice harvest has begun at the farm and so far, over 600 hectares have been harvested with a yield of 7.5 t/ha (dry).

Drying reduces grain moisture content to a safe level for storage. It is the most critical operation after harvesting the crop. When rice is harvested, it will contain up to 25% moisture. High moisture level during storage can lead to grain discoloration, encourage development of molds, and increase the likelihood of attack from pests.

Delays in drying, incomplete or ineffective process are reducing grain quality and result in losses. To this aim, we have dryers with a daily capacity of 600 tons to address our needs. After drying process is completed, our paddy rice is stored in our 3 silos by index of quality and awaiting for optimal conditions for best prices.

Meanwhile, we continue the harvest of our various plots as around 55% of the sown area for this cycle remains to be harvest.
