Q. In a case study, rice husking mill in rural areas of Bangladesh helps rural people for economic development. Would you like to continue this typical idea in rural development of Bangladesh? Why or why not?
Bangladesh is mainly agricultural base country. And rice is one of the most important agricultural goods here. Rice production follow some sequential process and milling is the most important part of production of rice from paddy. At past “Dheki” was the only method of rice processing but from some recent decay the technology of Bangladesh has developed and many new technical methods of milling has emerging. Rice husking milling is a crucial step in post-production of rice. The basic objective of a rice milling system is to remove the husk and the bran layers, and produce an edible, white rice kernel that is sufficiently milled and free of impurities. It helps to increase the rice production of rural area of Bangladesh because the mills have high operating efficiency which helps the rural economics by increasing the production of rice and it generated many job facilities for the rural people. Mostly for the rural women. In every husking there involve women for the every part of the production of rice which can make the rural women self- sufficient. In Bangladesh the 86.7% of the total production are done by rice husking mills and there have 380 Chinise automatic mill and 405 mini auto rice mills in Bangladesh for the production of rice from the paddy. The benefits of rice husking mills can be described as:
From case studies, cost benefit analysis shows that there are greater potential of husking mills in rural income and employment generation.
Developing husking mills also support other supporting agricultural activities as poultry, livestock, fish feed, oil production etc.
Husking mill coincides the issue of economic generation as a big percentage of rural labor is depending on those husking mill, as well as husking mill will also help the worker development as more the 50% worker of the husking mill is female.
Husking mill is an issue which has to address for the development of agro production as husking mill is a key component of rice production.
