Summary: As a staple food and economic driver, rice sustains millions of Filipino livelihoods, yet post- harvest inefficiencies result in substantial losses and increased import dependence. Small-scale farmers face challenges with inadequate drying and milling methods, particularly under adverse weather conditions, leading to significant post-harvest losses and reduced market competitiveness. This study presents an innovative, low-cost, and automated approach to post- harvest processing through Development of Portable Rice Drying and Milling System. At 64°C, 54°C, and 44°C, the system was tested with 8 kg, 16 kg, and 25 kg of weight. It reached a final moisture content of 15–18%, which is the right range for storage and milling. Following performance tests, evaluation based on ISO/IEC 25010:2023 standards indicated a 'numerically rated as 4.06, which is verbally rated as ‘Very Good' rating, with usability receiving the highest score. Findings suggest that the system effectively enhances rice quality and accessibility for small-scale farmers. This study supports food security and strengthens the economic resilience of rice farmers by lowering post-harvest losses and increasing processing efficiency. This is in line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 2, SDG 8, and SDG 9.

As a staple food and economic driver, rice sustains millions of Filipino livelihoods, yet post-
harvest inefficiencies result in substantial losses and increased import dependence. Small-scale

farmers face challenges with inadequate drying and milling methods, particularly under
adverse weather conditions, leading to significant post-harvest losses and reduced market

competitiveness. This study presents an innovative, low-cost, and automated approach to post-
harvest processing through Development of Portable Rice Drying and Milling System. At

64°C, 54°C, and 44°C, the system was tested with 8 kg, 16 kg, and 25 kg of weight. It reached
a final moisture content of 15–18%, which is the right range for storage and milling. Following
performance tests, evaluation based on ISO/IEC 25010:2023 standards indicated a 'numerically
rated as 4.06, which is verbally rated as ‘Very Good' rating, with usability receiving the highest
score. Findings suggest that the system effectively enhances rice quality and accessibility for
small-scale farmers. This study supports food security and strengthens the economic resilience
of rice farmers by lowering post-harvest losses and increasing processing efficiency. This is in
line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 2, SDG 8, and SDG 9.
