NPCS Project Consultancy Services publishes books on various industries, which provide comprehensive analysis on respective industries. These books are very resourceful for entrepreneurs, technocrats, research scholars etc, and others linked with these industries.
The book “Handbook on Rice Cultivation and Processing” contains cultivation and processing of rice in various ways. This book basically deals with history, origin and antiquity of rice, seed rice and seed production, harvest and post harvest operations, water management practices for rice, diseases and pests of rice and their control, application of biotechnology in aromatic rice improvement, traditional methods of parboiling, modernization of parboiling process, solvent extractive rice milling, general types of quick cooking rice processes, dry milled rice products in brewing, breakfast cereals, rice flakes, puffed rice, rice in multi grain cereals etc. India is the second largest rice producing country of the world after China. India also grows some of the finest quality aromatic rice of which basmati is the most high quality rice. The whole book discusses about rice cultivation and Milling. Cultivation and Milling involves lots of process. Both traditional and modern ways are applied to get the maximum output.
