Flooded paddy fields in the Godavari delta
Paddy to pack

Five steps between the field and your shelf.

All of them happen within our own operation in the Godavari delta, so the grain is handled by one team from the time it leaves the farm.

    Growing

    Grown in the delta

    The Godavari delta around Tanuku is one of India's oldest rice belts: alluvial soil, canal irrigation and two crops a year. Our paddy comes from farms and mills within a short drive of the plant, so it reaches us fresh and we know where each lot was grown.

    • West Godavari
    • Canal-irrigated
    • Two seasons
  2. Rice flowing down a stainless steel chute inside the mill
    Milling

    Milled and cleaned

    Paddy is dehusked and then polished, parboiled or left whole depending on the variety. De-stoners and aspirators pull out stones, husk and dust before the grain goes any further.

    • Raw
    • Parboiled
    • Brown
  3. Polished rice grains pouring from a grading chute
    Grading

    Graded and sorted

    Length graders separate whole grains from brokens. Optical colour sorters reject discoloured or chalky kernels. What goes into the pack is uniform in length and colour, lot after lot.

    • Length graded
    • Colour sorted
    • Brokens removed
  4. Green rice pouches moving along a packing conveyor
    Packing

    Packed under your label

    Filled by weight into pouches from 1 kg or bags up to 25 kg, heat-sealed, batch-coded and date-marked, then cartoned and palletised. Under our name or, for white label, under yours.

    • 1–25 kg
    • Batch coded
    • Your artwork

  5. A container lifted by a gantry crane at Visakhapatnam port at dawn
    Dispatch

    Shipped from three ports

    • Chennai
    • Mumbai
