Denpasar (Antara Bali) - Bali Governor Made Mangku
Pastika has supported the development plan of post-harvest paddy in a
modern way using Satake Japan technology to process grain.
"At present, farmers` harvest price of paddy grains has been very
drastically declining despite the grain price being set at minimum," the
governor said here on Thursday.
The satake technology application is expected to help maintain the
stability of grain prices and increase the income of farmers.
Meanwhile, Satake Company`s Director Shoichi Tanaka stated that the
technology machine used in processing grain has a capacity to dry up wet
rice of up to 150 tons per day.
The dried grain can also be stored for six to eight months using the
technology. Thus, it can prevent overstocking of unhulled grains that
causes price declination.
Tanaka added that the processing of grain using satake produces
unbroken rice, with the possibility of only 10-15 percent damage.
That is far different from the ones produced by a traditional system
that produces only 60 percent of rice from dry paddy, with large
quantities of broken rice grains.
"The technology will help maintain the stability of grain prices in
the market. Not only that, there is no dust produced during the process.
Hence, this technology is really environmentally friendly," he
remarked.(WDY)
