Land: The most ideal terrain for the wet rice

cultivation is flat lands with clayey soils as this can help retain water. Hilly places in the Philippines and Indonesia, terraces are created by cutting steps into the hill slopes for growing rice. Farm in size is generally small. In countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, farm plot size are usually no more than 2 hectares.

Labour: Wet rice cultivation requires labour force. The farmers' families or hired workers are usually the labour force. Farmers build low walls called bunds to flood the fields. Work such as planting, weeding, applying of fertilizers are done mostly by hand. Some animals are used to help plough the land.

Capital: In the past, wet rice cultivation did not require large amounts of capitals, instead family members provided the labour. things like sickles and wooden ploughs are mostly used.

Today more inputs are being used, machinery is used for ploughing and harvesting. Governments and research institutes spend more money on research to develop better seeds,fertilizers and pesticides.

Summary

Wet rice cultivation has major importance in agriculture as well as any. Its not only their one income for farmers but some their whole lives. Much labour is being put in before machinery is taking over. Generations of farmers would be known for their contribution to wet rice growing them day by day taking care of them making sure they survive till the harvest. Machines taking over is cutting their generation short, some people go their whole lives watching their parents work and they looking forward to follow in their footsteps. Technology nowadays claim to be giving them a chance to live a better life, get education or go into a different business, or are they merely just one small part of a total apocalyptic world run by robots, who knows.

Stage 1

Stage 4

First, the padi fields are ploughed, this is done with the help of either animals or tractors. The water from rivers or rainfall then flood the fields.

The Padi will be ready to harvest in about three to six months. The fields are drained in the process and the padi is harvested by hand using a tool called 'sickles'

Stage 2

THERE IS NO RICE IN 'RICE PAPER'.

RICE CAN BE GROWN WITHIN A WIDE VARIETY OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND DIFFERENT METHODS OF AGRONOMIC TECHNIQUES

While stage one is happenng, the padi seeds are scattered out in a smaller field called a 'Nursery' where they then sprout into seedlings.

After about three to four weeks the the seedlings are then moved into the flooded fields. The fields will be regularly weeded and fertilisers are added.

FACTS

WET RICE PROCESSING IS DROWNING THE PADI RICE IN HOT WATER FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THIS PROCESS STAINS THE RICE WITH A YELLOW COLOUR AND GIVES IT A STRONG FLAVOUR. SO BASICALLY THE RICE IS PRACTICALLY PRE-COOKED IN WATER.

THE RICE IS KNOWN AS 'PARBOILED' RICE AND THE CHEMICAL AND NUTRITIONAL OR PHYSICAL QUALITIES HAVE BEEN ALTERED.

IN DRY RICE PROCESSING THE GRAIN IS DRIED TO THE MOISTURE LEVEL OF 12-14% AND THE OUTER LAYER IS THEN REMOVED BY HULLING, BEFORE BEING CONSUMED AS GRAIN OR THEN FURTHER PROCESSED INTO FLOUR, DRINKS, SNACK FOODS ETC. BY HULLING, IT NOT ONLY PROTECTS THE GRAIN FROM DAMAGE BUT IT ALSO EXTENDS THE GRAINS SHELF-LIFE. BY STAYING DRY, THE RISK OF CONTAMINATION IS LESS LIKEY.

Characteristics

Purpose: Nowadays, wet rice is a form of commercial agriculture. Some countries don't only grow them for themselves, but they grow enough to sell overseas. One of the most known countries of commercial wet rice cultivation... is Thailand!

Wet rice cultivation

Introduction

Wet rice cultivation majorly comes from Asian countries. The climate in many Asian countries contribute to the farming of wet rice. The high rainfall also helps the flooding of the fields and the amount of time it will take to flood it.

Produce: The output of the unit area of a farm is generally pretty high. Different varieties of wet rice have been developed since 1960s. These new varieties of wet rices take less time to mature and can produce more output in a hectare, also they are more resistant to diseases and pests.
