Abstract

Abstract: Main problem encountered on rice post-harvest handling is high rice losses quantitatively or qualitatively. Paddy grain with high water content show easily damage characteristic and will loss at post -harvest handling and other operations. This study aims to know (1) how much rice losses during post -harvesting operations; (2) conversion unit from Harvested Dried Paddy to Milling Dried Paddy; (3) milling conversion unit from Milling Dried Paddy to rice. The results showed that increase of rice production in Tuban can be achieved by increasing production per hectare unit and reducing post-harvesting losses. Post-harvest losses in Tuban still quite high 11.15%. This means that every year Tuban still lose paddy grain more than 70.882 tons or about IDR 212.65 million annually. Largest losses occurred at the harvesting and threshing process. This process is still using simple technology. Farmer groups need more modern and efficient of post-harvest machines. Recommendation, one of machine recommended is reaper type and combine harvester. Rice mill is also an important part of the post -harvest losses. In this process, farmers produce rice grain from paddy to be sold and consumed. Inspection of rice milling technology regularly will make efficiency achieved. Keywords: Post-harvest Losses, Strategy and technology.
