4. 4 2 – Project Overview

5. 5 Ubuntu Ltd owns a Land Concession of 15000 hectares in the prime area of Bela Vista - Mozambique, part of the old colonial rice farms, and wishes to reactivate them and create new livelihoods, food security and prosperity in the rural community of Bela Vista - Mozambique.

6. 6 2 – Project Overview Libya Africa Portfolio (LAP) wishes to contribute to the development of African countries by participating technically and/or financing projects identified as essential. Both parties wish to develop and consolidate the fraternal relations between the Great Jamahiriya Arab Libyan Popular and Socialist and the Republic of Mozambique. A Joint Venture between both parties will allow massive rice production in Mozambique covering initially 10000 hectares, 10 to 25% of the local population needs, in a short period of time estimated up to twenty four months.

7. 7 2 – Project Overview Project Impact The global project will cover 100% of the Mozambique population rice needs and have the following impacts: –Reduction in need for food relief and imported goods –Reduction in poverty –Reduction in unemployment. –Reduction in malnutrition –Creating a mechanism for food export. –Impulse to economic activity –Positive impact on security / stability –Social upliftment..

8. 8 4 - World Rice Market Basics

9. 9 About 90% of the Worlds Rice is Produced in Asia Over ½ in a band from Pakistan, South and East through the Philippines Highly dependent on the timing of the Asian monsoon Most is consumed where it is produced

10. 10 4 - World Rice Market Basics The Global Rice Export Market is Highly Concentrated

11. 11 4 - World Rice Market Basics Rice Import Market Less Concentrated, but Segmented

12. 12 6 - Milling Rice Processing

13. 13 6 - Milling Rice Processing Remove the husk and the bran layers Produce whole white rice kernels that are :sufficiently milled, free of impurities and minimum number of broken kernels

14. 14 6 - Milling Rice Processing Paddy Intake: –Quality input = quality output –Garbage in = garbage out! Paddy intake chute Rice pre-cleaner Paddy Cleaning: After harvest, foreign matter can be as high as 5-10%

15. 15 6 - Milling Rice Processing Hulling the Paddy: –Husks account for 20% of paddy weight –Rubber roller huskers are widely used

16. 16 6 - Milling Rice Processing Paddy Separation: –Removal of paddy and husk from brown rice –Sieve or gravity separator

17. 17 6 - Milling Rice Processing De-stoning: –Paddy will contain small stones and debris –Debris must be removed before polishing Removed debris

18. 18 6 - Milling Rice Processing Polishing: –Removes bran layer to produce white rice. –Amount of bran removed (usually 8-12%) is called Milling Degree.

19. 19 6 - Milling Rice Processing Sifting or Separation of White Rice: –After polishing, white rice contains: Head rice Large brokens Small brokens –The white rice is separated using a Sifter Rotary Seiver

20. 20 6 - Milling Rice Processing Grading or Length Separation: After polishing, white rice contains –Head rice (75% of whole kernel is present) –Large brokens –Small brokens Rotary sieves

21. 21 6 - Milling Rice Processing Rice Mixing: –An efficient rice mill will produce: 50% head rice (whole kernels) 5-15% large broken and 5-15% small broken kernels –Depending on the countrys standards, rice grades in the market will contain from 5-25% broken kernels. Variable speed motors allow the mill operator to mix the appropriate amount of whole kernels with large and small brokens.

22. 22 6 - Milling Rice Processing Mist Polishing: –Adds luster, or polished appearance. Mist Polisher (Water)

23. 23 6 - Milling Rice Processing Rice Weighting: –Rice is normally sold in 50 kg sacks which must be accurately weighed and labeled. Bag filler and weighing scales
