**Paddy Processing and Marketing**
Paddy processing involves multiple stages, including harvesting, threshing, drying, milling, and packaging to produce rice. After harvesting, the paddy is dried to reduce moisture content, ensuring proper milling efficiency and grain quality. Milling removes the husk and bran to produce polished rice, while by-products like bran and husk are used for animal feed or fuel.
Marketing of paddy and rice involves distribution through local markets, wholesalers, and export channels. Farmers sell paddy through cooperatives, government procurement programs, or private traders. Proper storage, quality control, and branding help improve market value and ensure profitability for farmers and traders.
