Comparison of the physical properties between Malaysian and Thai rice

Rice is a staple food in the world market, especially in the Asian region. In each country, rice characteristicswill differin terms of shape, grade,and size. Thailand is one of the exporters in the global market rice among Asia South countries. Numerous studies have been done on different va...
