You have not said where you are ,but ask around for a local rice mill ,they would know.

I regularly see loads of rice husks in this area ,they are used in broiler houses.

The loads are big with sides and backs of a 10wheel truck extended , and covered in blue shade cloth you need a lot of rice husk's for a ton ,being a by-product the price would not be high.

They used to be 1 baht kg from the mill. But now they are used as fuel, so much more expensive. Ask around in your area, there should be small mills

No idea, but I do know there are small mills in ppls houses that may have some.

A job to say you mill your 1 ton of rice you will get about 300 kg of husk ,rice bran,and small and broken rice grains ,as husk does not weigh a lot I would say 150 kg of husk.

It will also depend on the quality of the rice ,nice fat grains will yield more than small not so good quality grains.
