Traditionally, rice was harvested by hand using sickles, a curved blade tool, to cut the rice plants at their base when the grains were ripe. After cutting, the rice stalks were gathered into bundles and left to dry in the sun. Once dried, the grains were separated from the stalks through threshing, often done by beating the bundles against a hard surface or by trampling with animals. This labor-intensive process varied by region but typically involved communal efforts to complete the harvest efficiently.
