USA Rice. Rice straw left on the field after harvest has been developed for a number of novel uses in recent years, from papermaking to biofuel. Repurposing rice straw has the double benefit of clearing the field for the next harvest in an eco-friendly way and putting a vast resource that would otherwise go to waste to good use. READ MORE

What is rice straw? Rice straw is a rice by-product produced when harvesting paddy. Each kg of milled rice produced results in roughly 0.7 – 1.4 kg of rice straw depending on varieties, cutting-height of the stubbles, and moisture content during harvest. Rice straw is separated from the grains after the plants are threshed either manually, using stationary …
