Maligaya flatbed dryers distributed to philippine farmers to reduce rice wastage

FarmFriday brings you this update on the maligaya flatbed dryer– one of the most popular search terms here in our blog.  To those interested in the dryer, please contact the Philippine Rice Research Institute for more info.
maligaya flatbed dryersDrying palay on the road, which is a practice that most farmers do, is wasteful as it can result in 0.7 to 8.7% rice losses, according to the 1996 report of the Bureau of Postharvest Research and Extension (BPRE).
Cognizant of this problem, the Department of Agriculture through its various agencies has been distributing several units of the Maligaya flatbed dryers.
The Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice), for one, is expected to finish soon the distribution of 20 Maligaya flatbed dryers, its share of the 709 proposed dryer units under the project “Mechanical drying support to farm clusters.” Twelve of the 20 units have already been installed in Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, and Pampanga as early as October last year while the remaining 8 units are expected to be installed this month in Sta. Cruz, Zambales and in the rest of the municipalities of Nueva Ecija and Pampanga.
On the other hand, around 200 dryer units have been installed by BPRE in the remaining provinces of the country since last year while another 500 units will be installed this year.

  12. Please think twice before buying a paddy dryer from Philrice. The technology is very outdated and the performance is not good. Why not contact from Vietnam? Their STR flat bed Paddy dyer is the best for third world countries.
    I have a modified 4 tons capacity all weather and all season model. It uses rice hull for heating and uses no electrical power. I use it to dry wet paddy and corn

  13. Sir,
    mag inquire lang po, gusto ko po sanang mag karoon sa amin sa mindoro ng ganyang flatbed palay dryer, gusto ko po sanang humingi ng impormasyon kung mag kano po ang gagastusin para makapg install ng ganyang klase ng dryer, at sino pong tao ang kakausapin ko, para makapg gabay sakin at makatulong sakin para mag karoon nito..

  14. Sir,magkano cost ng flatbed dryer,capacity, ilang oras ma dried ung isang load at saan ito mabibili?

  15. I noticed na marami ang nagtatanong how or where to buy this Maligaya flatbed dryer. The enquirers are being referred to Philrice yet when one checks the Philrice website there is no such information about this dryer.
    One would have thought that if they are promoting this for the good of the farmers, the information on how or where to buy should be readily available sa website ng Philrice.
    Anyway, I e-mailed at least two e-mail contact addresses from the Philrice website.
    I wait with a baited breath for a response.

  16. Goo day!

  25. If I will be able to finish constructing my flatbed dryer in latest design I WILL SHARE EVERYTHING FOR FREE so that everybody could enjoy doing farming. The simple theory is that the heat is on the top and bottom source so you can dry in a short period of hours. The PHILRICE in reality are doing money out of gov’t. expense. SHARE what you learn to the poorest farmer. JUST wait and I will share it to the public completely without in return. it’s for free.

I am looking for reps or dealers.
