Editor's Notes

  1. Rice hull removal and any milling must be: done in a continuous fashion to avoid cross contamination by other rice or grain types. InfestationRice must be: Fumigated against insects if conventional Co2, vacuum packed, nitrogen flush if organic
  2. So the rice has finally made it to the port and is loaded. So now the journey just begins.
  3. Noticeable Trends in US Market Economic downturn Growing consumer awareness of food security problems in other countries Growing consumer awareness of environmental challenges Growing ‘buy local’ movement Continued demand for organic, ethically sourced and fair trade products
  4. If production costs are lower, farmers can be more competitive Unique heirloom varieties that can’t be duplicated/preserving biodiversity Organic cultivation Healthier for growers and consumers Addresses climate change, environment and social issues.
