Facts
Origin	This table shows only a selection of the most important countries of origin and should not be thought of as exhaustive. Europe: France, Italy, Hungary Africa: Egypt Asia: Burma, China, Pakistan, Thailand, India; East and South-East Asia being the main areas of cultivation. America: Argentina, Uruguay Australia
Stowage factor (in m3/t)	1.359 m3/t (bulk cargo) 1.5 - 1.6 m3/t (jute fabric bags, 100 kg) 1.81 - 1.95 m3/t (paddy rice, bags or bulk) 1.34 - 1.39 m3/t (cargo rice, bags or bulk) 1.39 - 1.45 m3/t (white rice, bags or bulk) 1.48 - 1.56 m3/t (broken rice, bags or bulk) 1.84 - 2.12 m3/t (rice, unhulled) 1.44 - 1.56 m3/t (rice, hulled) 1.39 - 1.56 m3/t (rice, polished)
Angle of repose	-
Humidity / moisture	Relative humidity: 70% Water content: 13 - 15% Maximum equilibrium moisture content: 70%
Oil content	-
Ventilation	Loading as bulk cargo: surface ventilation. Loading as general cargo: air exchange rate 15 - 25 changes/hour. Good surface ventilation and airing are necessary.
Risk factors	At an excessively high water content in particular, rice has a tendency towards self-heating. Water contents of > 15% and relative humidities of > 75% result in self-heating of the cargo due to hydrolytic/enzymatic fat cleavage. Rice is highly odor-sensitive, prone to contamination and shrinkage. Beware of infestation.
