Sibu Tales : First Rice Mill of Sibu



The first rice mill of Sibu was established by the Methodist Church and Rev James Hoover who brought the rice huller machine all the way from the USA. He was also instrumental in bringing electricity to Sibu.

Named Cochrane Rice Mill, it was very much welcomed by the Foochows and people of the Rajang Valley for rice milling then became easier and the processing of rice grains to rice for cooking took less time and effort. The rice huller was two ton and powered by a 10 horsepower engine.

It was donated by a Pennsylvania Christian woman.

The rice mill charged  30 cents a bag to remove the rice husks.
