1 Rice Milling in 2030 What will it mean for the farmer?

2 There will not likely be a single typical rice mill in 2030, any more than there is one today. Large mills serving an export market Large mills serving domestic industrial users Large mills serving national domestic, sophisticated, branded label markets Small mills serving sophisticated local branded labels markets Small mills serving unsophisticated local markets

3 Large mills serving an export market (Simple process flows dominant performance parameter is capacity) Large mills serving domestic industrial users (Complex process flow dominant performance parameter is utility) Large mills serving national domestic, sophisticated, branded label markets (Complex process flows dominant performance parameter is appearance)

4 Small mills serving sophisticated local branded labels markets (Complex process flows dominant performance parameter is head rice yield) Small mills serving unsophisticated local markets (Simple process flows dominant performance parameter is operating costs)

6 Popular concept of the process of the Commercialization of Rice: FARMER MILLER CONSUMER

7 CULTIVATION DRYING STORAGE Risk Management Efficient use of acreage Production Cost Risk Management Efficient use of storage Efficient use of energy Uniformity of kernel properties Efficient use of capital equipment Efficient use of labor MILLING Risk Management Efficient use of storage Actual process for the Commercialization of Rice Unit cost Appearance Unit cost Utility Unit cost Cooking Appearance EXPORT BROKER INDUSTRIAL USER BRANDED LABEL

8 Popular concept of the process of the physical transformation of Rice: BRAN Paddy Rice Rice Mill RICE HUSKS

9 Actual products made through the physical transformation of Rice: Rice Rice Rice flour Cereal Baby foods Snacks Quick-cooking meals Pet Foods Brewing ingredient Bran Animal feed Stabilized for human consumption Rice oil Gaba Other phytonutrients Husks Cattle feed Energy Insulators Filtration media Building materials Silicon compounds Concrete fillers

10 Disjointed approach to technological development: Most publicly funded research focused on cultivation, primarily upon increasing field yield, with insufficient emphasis on kernel characteristics. Drying and milling technology developed primarily by large, private manufacturers for use in sophisticated markets. Improper application of milling technology in unsophisticated markets.

11 Continuing Trends in Rice Industry

12 Sociological Trends: Increasing population globally, particularly in Africa and South America Increasing labor and energy costs Increasing standard of living in developing countries Market Trends: Global Market Regional Alliances Increased requirements for convenience foods Emphasis on nutritional characteristics Cooperative competition

13 Technical Trends: Increases in quality of paddy rice (pure varietals) Increases in field yield (hybrid varieties) Mechanical advances that lead to greater power efficiency and reduced maintenance costs Advances in optical shape recognition Advances in ejector technology Development of value added products made from rice by-products

14 Business Model for Rice Industry of 2030

15 Vertical Integration Through Cooperatives, Consortiums or Alliances

16 Implications: Larger mills, consolidation of capacity in developed countries International alliances Partners participate in all of the profit opportunities Cooperation between farmer, miller and marketer Focused and coordinated research effort to serve entire industry rather than single sector Decreased market volatility

17 Anticipated Changes in Milling Technology

18 2013 Technology Buhler BSPB Abrasive Whitener Super Brix AFX Rice Whitener Satake KB-75 Rice Polisher

19 2030 Technology Bran Removal Machinery: Capable of effectively approximating the effect of today s separate abrasive and friction milling actions within a single machine frame. Decreased consumption of spare parts, air requirements, smaller footprint, increased power efficiency.

20 2013 Technology Perten Inline Grain Analyzer Sortex Z+ Grain Sorter Satake Evolution RGB Grain Sorter

21 2030 Technology In-line analyzers: Capable of identifying and quantifying paddy, brokens, seed, foreign material, discolored kernels, chalk, stones, metal and glass. Optical sorters: Simultaneous removal of foreign objects and separation of brokens from whole kernels. Virtually 100% accuracy in ejection, eliminating product loss.

23 Implications of the 2030 Business Model and Technology for the Farmer: Broader profit potential Contracted rather than speculative planting Larger farms Varietal specification by miller and processor Zero Grade rice farming Gradual shift from broadcast to drill planting Increase in acreage due to value of by-products Development of viable dry-land varietals
