Rice by-products create many valuable and worthwhile products. Rice hulls, rice bran, broken rice and rice straw are common ingredients in horticultural, livestock, industrial, household, and building and food products. Many breakfast and baby foods contain rice flour milled from broken rice grains.

Rice by-products are used extensively by CopRice the industry's stockfeed enterprises and the industry has invested millions of dollars in continuing research and development programs to find new applications for its by-products. For more information, visit the CopRice website.

Incorporating rice stubble and some surplus rice hulls into the soil after harvest also creates organic matter. It assists the soil and provides nutrients for future crops.
