Good morning all friends.
License to post a little writing about rice.
Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world.
Rice is one of the most vital cultivation plants in Indonesia.
Although world rice production is ranked third after corn and wheat, but rice is the main source of carbohydrate food for most of the world community. In Indonesia alone rice ranks first as a staple food for most people. But unfortunately until now national rice production has not been able to meet the needs of our society, in other words Indonesia has not been able to be self-sufficient rice. As an agricultural country with wide rice fields, rice production should be in Indonesia abundant. Minimum for domestic needs. But the fact is very ironic, we still import rice and worse yet Indonesia is the largest rice importer in the world.
The purpose of harvesting rice is to obtain grain from the field at optimum maturity level, prevent damage and loss of yields to a minimum. Harvesting rice will not be profitable and satisfactory if the process is done in a way that is not true and at the age of harvest is not right. Unfavorable harvesting will result in a quantitative loss of yield, while the right harvest will determine the quality of grain and rice. Harvesting should be done when the rice grain is considered enough to cook. Unsatisfactory harvest can reduce the quality of grain and rice.
Perhaps all this time discussing about rice. Thank you for your attention
