Grain losses in rice processing. Losses from Drying the Paddy. Sun drying is the traditional method of drying the harvested rice crop. The crop is either left in wind rows in the field to dry (after reaping but before threshing), or spread out on mats or on pavements after threshing. During the wet season, if there is no artificial drying capacity, it is not uncommon for the grain

Get PriceThe main cause of loss during drying is the cracking of grain kernels that are eaten whole, such as rice. Some grains may also be lost during the drying process. However, failure to dry crops adequately can lead to much higher levels of loss than poor-quality drying, and may result in the entire harvest becoming inedible. Adequate drying by farmers is essential if grains are to be
