Strategy for staple Rice Production InitiativeThe goal of the Staple Rice Production Initiative is to successfully compete with other large South Sudanese rice producers. It would ensure the use of suitable agricultural practices and support economic growth and the expansion of farming businesses. With cooperation from the management team in Juba, Mr. John Mut Pham developed this business plan. Rice will be grown in South Sudan by a cooperative organization named Staple Rice Production Initiative.staple Rice Production InitiativeOrganization_75a41d8e-a9ad-4c52-9978-c691bf41475aOur vision is to have a premium rice product that will rule South Sudan and the rest of the global markets.Vision_af054964-2cd7-47e5-89b2-cf9f0c23256dOur mission is to produce a superior, world-class staple rice that will enable us to successfully compete with the big rice producers. We want to start a rice producing company that would be one of South Sudan's top 10 rice-growing businesses.Mission_af054964-2cd7-47e5-89b2-cf9f0c23256dunnamed goalunnamed goalGoal_d0301968-17d1-4698-ae91-99a5ab8d383a1Developed the business plan of the companyPRODUCT OR SERVICE PLAN
Staple rice production initiative is going to operate a standard and licensed rice production company whose product will not only be sold in Juba but also throughout South Sudan. The company is in the rice production line business to make profits and give consumers value for their money, and well informed of going to do all that is permitted by the law to achieve its corporate goals and objective.
Therefore, the rice business would majorly provide the following types of rice;
* Long grain rice
* Medium grain rice
* Short grain rice4.1 Price
The prices of the above products would vary depending on the quantity and the quality of the products.4.2 Rice Production Process
The farming of rice is the most staple food in Africa, making it the first choice to consumers even in the wedding ceremonies, people demand increase edit in the level of expensiveness, many steps have been involved with the production of the processes. All steps are vital and affect the overall quality of the yield hence knowledge in each steps are crucial. The bellow steps are the steps used or involved during rice production process.4.2.1 Seed Selection
The first thing you must is to select the seed of the rice that you need to plant before the preparation of the land is done, many different environmental contributions must have embarked on the core reasons why rice farming is practice in the country. Knowing the particular rice seed, it’s the quality of the seed that determine the best product the rice may make after harvest. Rice seed selection is important to the production of rice as obtaining good quality rice seeds lead to faster growth which in turn helps with the resistances to pests and diseases, as well as minimizing on weed problems that can happens in the early stages of growth.4.2.2 Preparation of The Land
Preparation of the land takes a long process before the plantation of the seed begins, which mean land has to be kept prepared thus the farmer can get the best of the soil since the land is in better level. It can be done either with the use of hand tools or the machineries until the plantation. Tilling the land is the process to turn over the top soil to help with the growth of the rice plantation. The growth is benefited with the quantity of the gases that entered the soil such as carbon dioxide by the process of the soil aeration. Tilling will also rid weeds that are situated within the soil fertility due to the dead plants and debris decomposing into the soil. After you have tilled the land you will wants to level out the area. leveling out the land is done to minimized the water wastage along with labor which will lead to better harvest quality. If the farmer does have the land, few areas will have received less water coverage and be harder to maintain which inevitability will increase the costs. 4.2.3 Seedling and Transplantation
When deciding to plant rice seeds into your field there are two different methods to consider, they are direct seedling and transplanting. The first is to simply add rice seeds to the soil, in the typical seeds format which has not germinated (direct seeding), the disadvantage of direct seedling is that it can be costly in both seeds and labor tending and dealing with weeds during initial germination. However, the second option is more popular for planting rice plants as it offers a better chance of reducing detrimental effect during germination of the rice plants.4.2.4 Farm Water Management
When growing rice, it is important to keep good water management for the growth of the healthy and good quality harvest. Keeping regular water to give access to the roots of the rice plants vital as if the roots do not have access to the water lower quality yields can be produced. Constant access to water is required but this does not mean constant freestanding water is required which happens to myth. Misunderstanding come from the availability of water ground, this where the plant continues to gain intake of the water and nutrition. Water management therefore is vital part of the rice cultivation that requires monitoring to avoid low or high water levels that can affect access for rice plants. In many areas water supplies are limited and the method has been introduced to help with minimizing water consumption. other good water management features consist from the initial steps of rice cultivation such as leveling out land. Find survival and quality of yield output, this must lead the farmer keep in mind that constant monitoring of water management system is very important in rice plantation.4.2.5 Plant and Nutrition
Nutrition of plants vital for various reasons including yield quality and resistances of diseases. The intake nutrition is therefore good knowledge for rice farmers for producing the best crops quality possible. However, nutrition is not as easy as merely adding fertilizer every so often as rice plants require certain nutrition at stages growth. Yield quality and resistance of the diseases. The intake of the nutrition is therefore good knowledge for producing the best crop quality possible. Various resources can supply nutrition to the rice plants, for the example ploughing the field in the land preparation will kill and destroyed weeds which inhabited the soil at the time. These weeds will in time decompose and provide nutrition to the soil fertilizing it. These types of resources that supply nutrients so the soil are organic materials which when decomposed are known as organic matter fertilizers are un organic.
4.2.6 Maintaining Rice Crop Treatment
Rice farming have lot of threats which include rodents, insect, viruses and diseases. Apart from the major threats is that of weeds. Weeds around the rice plants can severely decreases the plants health by limiting nutrition it can have access to. You may think weeds are harmless but they can come in an abundance soaking up all the nutrients and water, and kill plants when management is in place. Water can be limited to rice plants and severely decrease the plants health by limiting nutrition, therefore constant monitoring and weeding can be carried out. Restraining pests and insect from harming rice plants can be difficult when pest sprays are not applied. Rice plants in growth stages have to be monitored carefully to be able to spot any pest occurrences. Spotting pests infecting the yield at early stages is most important to limit the damage of the plants.4.2.7 Harvest Period
Time for the harvest can be around 120days but can depend on the type of the rice planted. Two main effects can take place if bad harvesting practice is done because it can reduce the amount of the grain since it causes damage to the rice crops in the farm. Pre-harvest must ensure consideration of planning is crucial such that reduction of rice grain minimized. But such can only be minimized when the technique mechanization strategies are involved in rice farming. although the costs of the machineries can become expensive, it is efficient than a common traditional farming style.4.2.8 Rice Processing
Once the harvest is over, the grain has to be separated from the plant there is still the process of the producing rice available to seek to consumers all over. Crucially this process is also important and loss of the grain or damaging of grain can still take place. In addition, storage of the rice is very important so that weather or threats such as birds or rodents do not result in the grain loss in the farm. Drying of the grain is also another important steps in the rice processing since it made it ready for the milling. Another words, milling remove the husks and layers of the grain to allow cooking and selling of the rice worldwide. Inefficiency of drying can result to loss and production of poor quality grain, and that may affect the rice competency in the market during the long run. After the milling, the rice grain should be stored in good storage space, constantly monitored to halt pest from destroying the grain.StrategyPlan_af054964-2cd7-47e5-89b2-cf9f0c23256d2023-02-032024-02-022023-08-11Submitter_af054964-2cd7-47e5-89b2-cf9f0c23256dJOHN MUTPAM YAR+256783971336
