Cultivation highlights

Transplanting is one of the most common methods of establishing rice plants. It uses less seed and is a more effective weed control strategy, but it involves more work. Transplanting seedlings can be done by machine or by hand. At OrganicSiri, we grow all our crops in our own farms organically without use of fertilizers or chemicals.

Storage

Rice may be stored for extended periods of time in the right conditions. It’s crucial to keep rice away from moisture and to avoid using damp hands or lade when handling it. Like most foods, which should be stored in sealed containers, rice also requires an air tight container to prevent spoilage. Make sure the container is dry and clean while storing rice.
