Rice Inspection

Introduction


Rice is the predominant resource for humans in the world. The liberalization of the global trade, and the fact that the rice consumers in the industrialized countries are more and more demanding rice to be not only economical, but also healthy, tasty, safe and sound in respect to human welfare and the environment, are changing the so far quantity-oriented rice processing, guaranteeing the nutrient supply for a nation, into an international quality-oriented food market.. We at the ICI Ltd are proud to provide quality inspection services to rice exporters & buyers worldwide.

Our mission is to ensure that cargoes fulfil standards of quality from the port of loading to discharge.

What is the Rice Knowledge Bank?


The fast and effective transfer of technologies from the research laboratory to the farmer’s field has always been one of the biggest challenges facing those in agricultural development. All too often, new technologies are successfully developed only to fail in reaching those who need them most—the farmers—because of inadequate or underdeveloped government extension services. This unfortunate situation is made worse when the new technologies are neglected and forgotten because they are not used.

Into this yawning gap between research and impact has stepped the Rice Knowledge Bank (RKB). Not only is it one of the world’s first digital extension services for those who provide information and support for farmers (such as NGOs), it is also the first comprehensive, digital rice-production library containing an ever-increasing wealth of information on training and rice production.

More importantly, it provides this service using a breakthrough format that sets a new standard for knowledge and information access within the agricultural development community. Taking the very latest and best ideas from the private sector’s work in this area, the RKB is providing government extension officers, NGOs, and all others interested with unprecedented access to rice knowledge and training information.
