There are numerous factors that determine the final quality of paddy produced at the farm

Good quality paddy implies: 1) uniformly mature kernels of uniform size and shape2) a minimum of fissured grain3) a minimum of empty or half filled grains4) a minimum of stones and weed seeds5) no damaged or discolored grains.

For best milling results, mixing of different varieties prior to milling should be avoided. The following factors are important in determining the final quality of paddy rice:

What is good quality rice? 什麼是好品質的米 ?

Good variety 品種好 Good plant management 種植管理要好 Good Harvest time 適時收割，不過青或過熟 Dry immediately

搶鮮乾燥，避免長時間堆存濕穀 ( 產生黃麴毒素 ) Reduce breakage rate 減少碎米 Good drying technology 好的乾燥技術 good dryer 好的乾燥機 Good Moisture control Good storage 理想的儲存方式 ( 12℃~15℃ 低溫儲存倉 )

How can paddy quality be improved before it reaches the mill?

80% of moisture is exhausting from embryo.Without good drying technology and tempering, it will result in more brokeage rices, and then losing money

What is the cheapest grain dryer?

What is the cheapest grain dryer: To produce the highest selling price of grains and seeds & to bring the bigges

t profit to buyer.烘出的穀物都是胴裂米及碎米，賣價只有良質米的數分之

一，就是最貴的乾燥機。

What is the expensive grain dryer: To result in high broken rice, and poor

selling price of grains or seeds.

烘出的穀物及種子賣價最高，利潤最大，才是最便宜的乾燥機。

1.Uneven moisture rate is not good for storage2.Grains should be collect before raining or night time.3.Over dry will cause weight loss and high brokerage rate

1.Automatic circulation, ensure even moisture

2.Clean paddy with less impurities3.Moisture can be controlled properly4.Grain quality is unformed form the 1st

batch to 1000th batches.
