Section A
1. Rice
means
whole

kernels
of
rice
from
which
husks
and
at
least
the
outer
bran
layers
and
a
part
of
the
germs
have
been
removed.
It
also
includes
loonzain
(cargo
rice
or
brown
rice),
parboiled
rice
and
glutinous
rice.
2. Whole
kernels
A
rice
kernels
which
is
not
brokens.
3. Head
Rice
A
pieces
of
kernels
having
having
the
length
equal
to
or
greater
than
three-‐
forths
of
the
average
length
of
the
unbroken
kernels
4. Big
brokens
Pieces
of
Kernels
smaller
thanks
three-‐forth
but
bigger
than
one
half
the
average
length
of
the
unbroken

as
specified
for
each
grade
under
this
standard
but
the
length
of
the
kernels
must
be
less

5. Broken
Pieces

in
the
wet
basic
i.e.
the
percent
age
of
water
present
in
the
wet
grain.
It
is
determined
by
the
air
oven
method,
by
distillation
,
or
by
means
of
meters,
which
related
electric
resistance
of
dielectric
properties
of
the
grain
to
its
moisture
content.
8. Red

also
considered
as
damaged
kernels.
12. Yellow

Section
B
Definitions
on
types
and
grades
of
Myanmar
Rice
Myanmar
main
export
groups
of
rice
comprises
of
White
rice,
Loonzain
Rice
(Brown
Rice
or
Cargo
Rice)
Glutinous
Rice,
Boiled
Rice
and
Broken
Rice.
I. Types
of
rice
The
quality
of
Myanmar
rice
is
classified
according
to
the
types
of
rice,
namely:
a) Ngasein
Type
b) Emata
Type
c) Zeera
Type
d) Paw
San
or
Nga
kywe
type
e) Kyauknying
type
II. Grades
of
rice
The
grades,
designated
according
to
the
percentage
of
contents
of
the
broken
rice
are
as
shown
in
the
standard
specifications
of
Myanmar
rice.
Generally
by
volumetric
system
except
higher
quality
grades
which
are
measured
by
weight
system
according
to
the
specification
of
the
contract.
Section C
Milling Degree
Paddy
from
which
the
husk,
the
germ
and
the
bran
layers
have
been
completely
removed
to
the
extent
that
appearance
is
translucent.
Well milled
Paddy
from
which
the
husk,
the
germ
and
the
bran
layers
have
been
removed
to
a
degree
than
that
of
extra
well
milled
rice.
Paddy
from
which
the
husk,
the
greater
part
of
the
germ
and
bottom
of
its
outer
and
inner
bran
layers
have
been
removed
to
a
certain
extent
but
in
the
degree
less
than
that
of
well
milled
rice.
Ordinarily Milled
Paddy
from
which
the
husk
and
certain
part
of
the
germ
and
the
whole
part
of
its
outer
bran
layers
have
been
removed
with
some
part
of
the
inner
bran
layers
remains
intact.
Degree of milling is about half way between the acceptable grade and the low milling.
Degree of milling is about half way between the acceptable grade and the next lower grade
Under milled
Degree of milling is almost as low as the next lower grade of the acceptable grade.
Section
D
Grading of broken rice in Myanmar is based primarily on the following three factors:
1. The
milling
degree
of
the
rice
in
milling
which
the
broken
rice
is
produced
2. The
nature
of
processing,
i.e.
“Loozain
(Husked);
“White”
(Raw);
“Boiled”
(Parboiled)
3. The
composition
i.e.
the
proportion
of
different
sizes
of
broken
in
the
broken
rice.
In
one
grade,
only
brokens
of
the
same
type
of
rice
are
included.
The
size
of
brokens
are
same
