Rice Value Chain

The rice value chain encompasses all steps involved in producing, processing, and delivering rice from farms to consumers. It starts with farmers growing rice, which is then harvested and often sold to traders or local markets. The rice may be milled to remove husks and improve quality, then packaged and distributed through various channels to retailers or directly to consumers. Each stage adds value, affecting the rice’s quality and price. Efficient management of this chain ensures better income for farmers, affordable rice for consumers, and overall economic development in rice-producing regions.
