Mrs. Fifame showed us a machine that takes the skin off the rice grain. Another machine helps to polish the rice (make it smoother and whiter). A third machine helps to separate the broken rice grains from the whole rice grains. Finally, she puts the broken rice in a machine that transforms it to flour.

Mr. Tia showed us that there is African wild rice, Glaberrima, Asian rice and variety rice. He showed us the conserving room which contains the most seeds in the world – 20,000 seeds. Then he showed us the room where they check the seeds for fungi and the drying room.

We also had an unexpected feast kindly made and we got free rice packets, a pen and a notebook.
