rice harvest

Gathering grain crop

Rice harvest is the gathering of mature rice from paddies, typically involving cutting, threshing, and drying the grain.

In many Asian cultures, the rice harvest marks a significant seasonal event, often celebrated with festivals.

The phrase can refer to the activity itself or the yield: This year's rice harvest was the best in a decade.
