Rice Harvesting

Rice harvesting is the process of gathering mature rice grains from fields. It typically involves cutting the rice plants at their base when the grains are golden and hard. Traditionally, this was done by hand using a sickle, but modern methods often involve machines like combine harvesters that cut, thresh, and collect the grains efficiently. After harvesting, the rice is usually dried to reduce moisture content before storage or processing. This step is crucial for preventing spoilage and ensuring quality, as rice is a staple food for millions around the world.
