Technology makes everything faster now. The only workers I can see are setting the field on fire.
Fortunately, the burning was well contained and it was over very soon. I later learned from the factory that the ashes are used as fertilizer as well. PLS which opened their factory for public visit also explained that they now transitioning to a more environmental friendly method of processing the harvested stem into animal's feeds.
The paddy processing factory is huge and even has a tourist centre with multimedia presentation and a trained staff showing visitors around the place. The rices produced there aremostly only sold there with only one brand marketed in Speedmart. Outside the factory is a small stall selling other produces of Sekinchan.
Most of the fields there are already harvested. We found a small plot that is still untouched and I wondered if this plot was deliberately left for visitors.
It's funny how I didn't expect our local rice production to be so advanced and knowing this actually gives me something to be proud of as Malaysian.
