Journey of Rice: From Farm to Packaged Bags

The video documents the journey of rice from the farm to becoming packaged rice bags, highlighting key steps in rice trading, storage, pest control, and milling processes.

Key Lifestyle and Agricultural Tips

When selling rice, several quality checks are essential to ensure the product meets standards:

Impurities: Must be less than 3-5%.
Rice Types: No mixing of different rice varieties (e.g., fragrant rice should not contain sticky or white rice).
Humidity Levels:
- Dry rice humidity must be below 14%.
- Fresh rice humidity should not exceed 32%.

Pest Management

Farmers and factories control insect pests using:
- Chemical pesticides (applied under strict legal regulations).
- Natural pest control methods.
In warehouses, rice is protected from pests through fumigation conducted by licensed experts.

Rice Storage Techniques

Cooling machines maintain rice temperature around 20-25°C.
Rice is stored in silos and jumbo bags covered with tarps.
Cool air is circulated under the tarps to preserve rice quality throughout the year.
Large quantities of rice are stored to ensure supply continuity, especially after the harvest season ends.

Rice Milling Process

The milling process transforms raw paddy rice into polished, packaged rice:

Cleaning: Raw paddy rice is cleaned to remove dust, husks, and impurities.
Dehulling: The rice is dehulled to produce brown rice.
Whitening and Polishing:
- Brown rice is polished using special machines equipped with ash stones.
- This method polishes rice without causing excessive breakage.
- Rice is polished three times to achieve the desired whiteness while minimizing broken grains.
Separation: Broken rice grains are separated using sieves and color separators to ensure only full grains remain.
Packaging: The final polished rice is packed in 1,000 kg jumbo bags (Jump Bags).

Quality Control and Export Preparation

Packed rice undergoes inspection for cleanliness and safety before transportation.
Rice is sent to quality improvement factories, such as the Nakhon Luang Rice Factory, for further processing and packaging into retail bags.
Extensive testing is performed, with tens of thousands of seed samples checked to ensure quality assurance.
