In Africa, rice production has been increasing due to the contribu-tion of NERICA rice. However, in-formation on physical properties of NERICA is required for designing efficient equipment for its produc-tion and expansion. Consequently, the physical properties of NERICA were compared to the Indica and Japonica types of rice. The NERICA and Indica types indicated similar-ity in dimensions of rough rice and in physical properties of milled rice. This result suggested that technol-ogy used for processing Indica rice could be transferred and inserted in countries where NERICA produc-tion has been expanding.
