Postharvest technology research, development, and technology transfer at the International Rice Research Institute.

ABSTRACT :

 

Reduction of postharvest losses is one way to increase rice production on the same, or even a smaller, land area. The Engineering Division of the International Rice Research Institute has developed or adopted a number of harvest and postharvest technologies for farm and contract-level operations. These include the reaper, the axial-flow thresher, 2 small-area stripper harvesting systems, the flat-bed drier, and a low-temperature in-bin drying and storage system (LT-IBDS). To ensure significance of the development process, target groups such as local manufacturers and end-users are involved at an early stage of development for verification of the technology's feasibility, functionality, durability and profitability. Dissemination activities include collaboration with National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS), and provision of information packages and prototypes for national and international agencies. A technology evaluation network with NARS in Indonesia. Thailand, the Philippines and Vietna

m has recently been established for technology verification under different technical and socioeconomic conditions.
