From developed countries
With significant economic growth and a stable rice supply situation, consumer demand changes from food quantity to food safety and quality! In the United States as a developed country, the rice milling industry has seen a lot of consolidation over the years and most small milling operations have gone. The fact that the milling industry has consolidated into large facilities shows that people are more critical of rice quality.
Therefore, with the economies of scale inherent in rice mill operations and the increasing quality awareness in the rice milling market, milling machines will become more sophisticated and replace the current competitive milling market with an oligopolistic market.
Modern rice mill machines have a more reasonable design and higher milling efficiency. The quality of the milling machine directly affects the quality of rice, including its whiteness, clarity, milling degree (milled rice presence unit) and chalk, grain size, milling and head rice recovery, etc. Rice mill machinery, such as MNML series rice milling machine and MNTL series rice milling machine, can meet customers' demands on rice quality and relieve their concerns.
For developing countries
In countries like India, Nigeria, China, and the Philippines as developing countries, Small-scale rice mills have grown rapidly due to the high profitability and low entry barriers of the rice milling business. Small-scale rice mills have backward techniques of rice processing and lack adequate processing equipment, a liability, that hinders the further development of the entire industry. On the one hand, in recent years, with population growth, there has been more pressure on arable land and, as a result, the need for higher crop productivity has been felt in those countries.
On the other hand, due to inefficient milling processes, large quantities of food grains are reported to be wasted. It is reported that about 10% of the total rice production is lost due to old and outdated drying and milling processes. Therefore, an improved processing strategy for rice is needed to prevent processing losses.

Future trends in rice milling equipment development
1. The demand for a single unit and complete set of large-scale rice milling machinery will be increasingly high
As the demand for rice milling machines gradually increases, rice milling manufacturers are gradually developing towards scale, cluster, and combination, which will surely lead to higher and higher demand for single units and complete sets of large-scale rice milling machines. At present, the existing rice processing line newly built by large-scale rice processing enterprises mainly refers to a complete set of equipment with at least 150t daily processing capacity, which has increasingly strict requirements on product technical level, processing quality, unit energy consumption, and rice breaking. ratio and so on. The original small and medium-sized rice milling processing equipment cannot meet the intensity and scale production needs of rice processing enterprises due to small output, low precision, high energy consumption, rough production technique, low automation degree, and unstable product performance. Fortunately, a single unit and complete set of large-scale rice milling machinery can meet the demand due to large processing capacity, low energy consumption, excellent processing properties, and high degree of automation.
2. Technological innovation and technological inputs play an increasingly important role in the rice milling industry
The rapid development of science and technology has promoted the steady growth of the economy. This indicates that rice milling machine products are gradually developing into high efficiency, low energy consumption, automation, intelligent, and complete set. Information-based rice milling equipment will help optimize device operations and realize the dynamics of the entire production process. Digitization and system integration technologies are beneficial for the development of remote diagnosis, remote debugging, and remote control, which can maintain stable production and improve productivity. Flexible tools are better suited to market demands with 'multi-category and small quantity' features. On the other hand, it helps to improve product quality and reduce production costs. During the entire processing, the intellectual equipment realizes the maximum use of resources and energy.
3. The industrial chain will develop towards intensive processing and further processing of coarse grains
With the application of high technologies such as biotechnology, information technology, and automatic control technology, etc., in the research and development of rice milling equipment, the added value of rice milling products has been continuously improved. Apart from rice milling, rice by-products, such as broken rice, rice bran, rice germ, and rice bran, can be further processed into value-added products. Taking rice bran, for example, investors prefer to make pellets into wood pellets using a biomass briquette machine or an electric flat die wood pellet machine.
In conclusion; Demand for high-end sets of rice milling plants will continue to grow, with low-end products being phased out soon. Only by increasing technology inputs and importing improved technology and milling equipment can rice producers gain a foothold in industrial competition in the future.
