Rice is being processed in well established industry but the major apprehension is the utilization of its by-products; rice bran (5-8%) and polishing (2-3%) that are going as waste. The potential of producing rice bran at the global level is 29.3 million tons annually. In recent years, rice bran has been recognized as a potential source of edible oil (15-20%.
