Harvest Time

Approximately 3 to 4 months for the rice grain to mature. Depending on the variety. Why is it important to know when to harvest? We need to know the correct timing of harvest because it is extremely important to prevent loss. Timely harvesting provides a good quality of grain and high market value.

If you"re going to harvest too early it will result high percentage of immature grains and unfilled harvest. It will lower also the yield and cause grain breakage during milling. While harvesting too late will break the rice and cause to have a less harvest. It also affects during the harvest time the germination of rice seed.

Harvesting is the process of collecting the mature rice crop from the field. It can be done manually or mechanically.

Manual system is the most common means of rice harvesting. The rice crop is cut by using sickle. It is simple hand tools.

During our harvest We used mechanical harvesting method using harvester. Which is easy and fast. Our 1.5 hectare rice field took onky 3-4 hours to harvest.
