Rice in storage, prone to insects and mold, the reason is that the water content is too high. When the moisture content of paddy is 14%, it begins to produce insects when it is routinely stored in rural households for 6 months. Therefore, when farmers store rice, the water content is usually 13.5% or less, before starting to store, generally can be stored for about 3 years without insects, mold.

This method, families with conditions, to control the temperature in the warehouse, not more than 20 ℃.

3, vacuum bagged storage paddy. This method is very simple and convenient, a package, can be stored for 8 to 10 years. The method is:

(1) paddy drying dehydration and drying, keep the moisture content of paddy below 13.5%.

(2) is paddy de-contaminated, removing crumbs, husks, broken shells of rice, no insects, paddy purity at 99%.

(3) is the choice of high-quality standard vacuum packaging bags, generally choose 50 pounds or 100 pounds of specifications.
