Satake, one of Japan’s leading corporations that specialises in
producing food processing equipment, has announced plans to
transfer its rice processing technology to Vietnam’s An Giang Plant
Protection Joint Stock Company (AGPPS).
AGPPS, which
is known as the leading provider of seeds and plant protection products
in Vietnam, will receive equipment and technical assistance from Satake
during the four processing stages of drying, polishing, assessing and
managing rice quality.
According to Japan’s Nikkei Newspaper,
after receiving Satake’s technology, AGPPS will be able to independently
manufacture modern dryers and produce organic germinated brown (GABA)
rice which is beneficial to consumers’ health.
Located in
Hiroshima, Japan, Satake Corporation is a multinational
company that focuses on manufacturing equipment for the processing and
sorting of agricultural products such as rice, grains and
beans. It was founded in Japan by Riichi Satake in 1896.
It plans to transfer its technology to rice processing companies in Asia
as the region is considered the world’s major rice producer.-VNA
