The varieties are preferred by consumers because of its preference criteria such as shape, colour, distinctive aroma and flavor. The price of aromatic rice is higher than ordinary rice due to its special needed growth condition, for instance, specific climate and soil.

  Krupp Industries India - Detlev L. Schroeder - Krupp Foedertechnik, Germany ABSTRACT The opencast method used for mining hard coal and rocks requires drilling and blasting of strata which causes considerable investments and also creates an adverse impact on the environment & safety. These disadvantages demand the introduction of improved technology for blasting free, safe, eco-friendly and economic mining. By continuous research and also experience gained from the rock cutting technology with the application of road header etc. it has become possible to do mining without blasting by a continuous surface miner for hard coal and rocks. Krupp Födertechnik, Germany has developed Krupp Surface Miner (KSM 2000) which can work in medium-hard and hard coal and also in overburden very efficiently up to 40 MPa and in special cases like small lenses and/or thin layers up to 120 MPa of compressive strength. The article has been written with a special focus to Krupp Surface Miner (KSM 2000).
