Science of Rice Q&A Handbook

In 2002, the Association prepared the "Rice Milling Plants Q&A Handbook" after collecting frequently-asked questions from the members. This was well received at the time and sold over 2,000 copies, however, as over ten years have passed and as circumstances have changed, various new questions have been asked.
So we have prepared the "Science of Rice Q&A Handbook" based on the "Rice Milling Plants Q&A Handbook" but updated with new questions and answers.
It is useful not just for members but individuals who engage widely in the rice industry.
