With a view to improving the method of rice marketing quality estimation, vaietal milling characteristics and apparent qualities were studied and their statistical interrelationships were computed for 2 years crops, using 22 varieties of Japonica type and Japonica x Indica type (Tongil). The milling yield was the highest for Japonica, while the broken rice yields was the highest for Japa.xInd. type. But bran yield did not show any significant differences among rice types. Milling factors were volume weight of brown rice, dehulling yield, and Polishing yields; the better these factors, the higher the yield. High apparent quality milled rice with high milling yield were produced from rice types whose broken rice, chalked rice, husk yield and bran yield were little and/or low.
