The Philippines have named 2013 the National Year of Rice in their government’s bid to achieve rice self-sufficiency through the help of Filipino producers, policy-makers and consumers. As we mentioned in our Thanksgiving Blog, we’ve seen our customers champion for this cause, even in the face of a deadly typhoon. Embracing the Year of Rice, we at Kett love to see our test instruments make self-sufficiency possible. A simple moisture meter or rice whiteness analyzer allows farmers to optimize their crop yields, regulators to enforce necessary quality standards and manufacturers to ensure their raw ingredients are up to par.
