2 – Project Overview
• Libya Africa Portfolio (LAP) wishes to contribute to the development of African countries by participating technically and/or financing projects identified as essential.
• Both parties wish to develop and consolidate the fraternal relations between the Great Jamahiriya Arab Libyan Popular and Socialist and the Republic of Mozambique.
• A Joint Venture between both parties will allow massive rice production in Mozambique covering initially 10’000 hectares, 10 to 25% of the local population needs, in a short period of time estimated up to twenty four months.

4 - World Rice Market Basics
• About 90% of the World’s Rice is Produced in Asia
• Over ½ in a band from Pakistan, South and East through the Philippines
• Highly dependent on the timing of the Asian monsoon
• Most is consumed where it is produced

• Remove the husk and the bran layers • Produce whole white rice kernels that are :sufficiently milled, free of impurities
and minimum number of broken kernels

Paddy Intake:
– Quality input = quality output– Garbage in = garbage out!
Paddy intake chute Rice pre-cleaner
Paddy Cleaning:
After harvest, foreign matter can be as high as 5-10%

Hulling the Paddy:
– Husks account for 20% of paddy weight
– Rubber roller huskers are widely used
16
6 - Milling Rice Processing
Paddy Separation:
– Removal of paddy and husk from brown rice– Sieve or gravity separator
17
6 - Milling Rice Processing
De-stoning:
– Paddy will contain small stones and debris– Debris must be removed before polishing

Polishing:
– Removes bran layer to produce white rice. – Amount of bran removed (usually 8-12%) is called Milling Degree.

Sifting or Separation of White Rice:
– After polishing, white rice contains:• Head rice• Large brokens• Small brokens
– The white rice is separated using a Sifter
Rotary Seiver

Grading or Length Separation:
• After polishing, white rice contains– Head rice (75% of whole kernel is present)– Large brokens– Small brokens
Rotary sieves

Rice Mixing:– An efficient rice mill will produce:
• 50% head rice (whole kernels)• 5-15% large broken and • 5-15% small broken kernels
– Depending on the country’s standards, rice grades in the market will contain from 5-25% broken kernels.
Variable speed motors allow the mill operator to mix the appropriate amount of whole kernels with large and small brokens.

Rice Bran Oil:
• Rice bran contains three different kinds of natural antioxidants
• Rice bran oil is widely used in hair conditioners, skincare and sunscreen products
• Rice Oil is mostly used for mixing with other types of Kitchen oil – Mozambique offers ample opportunities for this oil consumption
