Project Progress Report:" Investigation of rice kernel cracking and its control in the field and during post-harvest processes in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam - MS12 "

Reduced whole rice grain yield due to cracking is one of the major issues that directly reduce income and availability of staple food to the farmers in the Mekong River Delta. The cracking or partial fissuring of rice kernels may occur right in the paddy field due to incorrect harvesting time/practice, improper post-harvest drying conditions and inappropriate milling operations. This project aims to improve the quality and value of the rice, through an integrated approach which encompasses farmers, millers, service providers and extension workers and education institution | Ministry of Agriculture Rural Development AusAID Australian Government Project Progress Report 026 05VIE Investigation of rice kernel cracking and its control in the field and during post-harvest processes in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam MS12 VALIDATION OF IMPROVED HARVESTING DRYING AND MILLING METHODS Cooperative demonstrations detailing the physical and financial benefits of implementation of optimal harvest methods optimal drying conditions and improved performance of milling plants.
