Rice is one of the most important food crops worldwide. In fact, in most developing countries, it is counted as a dietary staple for a majority of the population. In spite of this fact, a large portion of rice ends up going to waste due to challenges encountered in the post-harvest management of rice. Addressing such challenges is necessary to minimize the loss of rice and maintain rice quality until the grain reaches the end consumer. This will contribute to greater food security and in turn, higher agricultural income.
