Rice hay is produced 800 to 1,000 million tons per year globally, with about 600 to 800 million tons per year produced in Asia. Incorporation of rice straw into paddy soil can maintain and enhance soil fertility with proper management. However, ineffective management of straw incorporation can result in a decrease in production efficiency.
Rice Hay
Rice hay is produced as outgrowth of rice production at harvest. Rice hay is removed with the rice grains during harvest and it ends up being piled or spread out in the field depending if it was harvested manually or using machines.
