OF THE WEEK

Work after the Harvest
There is still work to
be done after rice is harvested from the fields. The grains have to be
dried before being milled, because wet rice grains when milled would be
crushed, besides selling cheaper. The National Food Authority (NFA) does
not have the facilities for that, so it is the farmers who end up having
to do the work after the harvest. They do it the old way, the most
affordable way for them: to spread out the grains on the street, often in
national highways, and let these dry under the sun’s heat.
