14. 14 Improvement Measures and practices Harvest phase Problem 2: Shortage of drying capacity Practice 2: Allocate and transport fresh/wet paddy to elsewhere the dryer capacity is available

15. 15 RED: Drying Capacity shortage > 100,000 MT YELLOW: Drying Capacity shortage < 100,000 MT GREEN： Capacity over supply Improvement Measures and practices Harvest phase Problem 2: Shortage of drying capacity Practice 3: Build regional dryer center & related facilities in needed regions

23. 23 Improvement Measures and practices 4. Cold storage Storage phase Plan to build more cold storage silos Air conditioned warehouse

24. 24 Improvement Measures and practices Logistic phase High handling loss in small package (50kg)

25. 25 Improvement Measures and practices Logistic phase Less handling loss in bulk bag

26. 26 Improvement Measures and practices Logistic phase Less handling loss in bulk

27. 27 Automation of input-output operation to reduce handling losses Keep rice from touching ground to ensure food hygiene and safety In-out flow chart Improvement Measures and practices Logistic phase

28. 28 conclusion Typhoon and torrential rain still heavily threat rice production, however by means of public-private cooperation all rice could be dried totally in time after harvest this year. Target to hold rice loss below 1%, need more efforts on storage and logistic to achieve the goal.
