French term
étiveuses de riz paddy
French to English
Tech/Engineering
Agriculture
Agricultural machinery
Appears in a list of agricultural machinery purchased by the Guinean government. The list includes:
tracteurs, moissonneuses batteuses, motofaucheuses, batteuses motorisées, décortiqueuses de riz, trieuses nettoyeuses de paddy, ***étiveuses de riz paddy***.
I'm pretty sure there is a typo here, and I suspect the author (an economist) is hardly an expert either. Any ideas?
Thanks

Yes there's a typo, it should be 'étuveuses de riz paddy'

: Though I think you should provide a reference for étuveuse - I had to look it up myself before agreeing with you.

étuveuses
Indeed, that is a typo. The correct word is "étuveuses".
Example sentence:
Dans la région ouest du Burkina Faso, dans les plaines de Banzon et de Bama, les activités du CECI ont permis à plus de 1133 étuveuses de se regrouper en associations professionnelles.
