Developments in stripper harvesting in the Philippines.

The stripper system is the latest method of mechanical rice harvesting in the Philippines. In 1991, a stripper harvester, model SG800, was developed at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in collaboration with Silsoe Research Institute, UK. The Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) first collaborated with IRRI in 1993 to field test the SG800 in a reaper dominated province in Central Luzon. Collaboration was later expanded to include the adaptation and promotion of the stripper harvester in selected areas of the country through the IRRI-GTZ Project on Postharvest Technologies for Rice in the Humid Tropics in 1994-97. Necessary modifications for the IRRI-designed SG800 stripper were identified during field tests to improve performance and durability. Today, PhilRice and IRRI have 2 upgraded designs for local manufacturers to work on: the SG800 MK-II model for normal field conditions and LS600 models for soft field conditions. There are now 13 known manufacturers of stripper sy

stems in the Philippines and at least 162 units have been distributed throughout the country. Increased interest from farmers on the technology have prompted a few manufacturers to further refine the machine to suit customer needs and field conditions. With increasing endorsement from the government, more manufacturers are expected to continuously improve the design, and the technology is expected to become even more popular for farmers in the Philippines.
