Years 4 and 5 went on a field trip to Africa Rice

On Wednesday, the 8th of April 2015, our class went on a field trip to Africa Rice with Mrs. Juliet. It was a thirty minutes ride from our school to Africa Rice. We were welcomed by a lady called Gisele who knew the way to all the offices, laboratories, etc...

Another interesting machine

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.
