Industry Scenario of a Rice Mill

Rice is the staple food for nearly two- thirds of India’s population, the rice industry plays a predominant role in the Indian context. It is especially so as paddy in its raw form is inedible and necessitates processing for obtaining rice.

Rice is the staple food for nearly two- thirds of India’s population, the rice industry plays a predominant role in the Indian context. It is especially so as paddy in its raw form is inedible and necessitates processing for obtaining rice.
Rice milling is that process consisting of

  1. Pre Cleaning
  2. Destoning
  3. Parboiling
  4. De-husking
  5. Husk Aspiration
  6. Paddy Separation
  7. Whitening & Polishing;
  8. Grading & Weighing and
  9. Bagging that facilitates removal of impurities & husk in order to produce polished rice and is performed in Rice Mill or in rice mill plant.

Rice often forms the basic product processed from paddy and yields a highly valuable series of byproducts, thus value adding a chain. Not only is the rice industry one of the most significant food processing industries, it is also one of India’s oldest and the largest agro-processing industry. With a turnover of nearly INR 30,000 crore p.a. it is responsible for processing about100 million tons of paddy per year.

The Rice Milling Industry in India

Paddy is procured as a raw material primarily from West Bengal (17%), UP (12%); AP (12%) and Punjab (10%) respectively. Unlike other food grains, rice VARIES from other grains as it is cooked and consumed as whole grain. Milling technology is designed to optimize output by minimizing breakage of the grain.

India is home to diverse. The Modern rice mill essentially extracts the husk separately from paddy. Bran is then employed and further processed to produce polished rice. Paddy grain is milled in raw form or post-par-boiling and performed by single hullers, double hulling units, et al. Rice is majorly exported to Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Iran, UK and USA.
In India, numerous Governmental licenses and permits are necessitated before setting up a modern rice mill. The process includes:

  • Registering of with Registrar of Companies
  • Registering with Udyog Aadhaar Ministry of Micro Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME)
  • Obtaining factory license approval
  • Approval from Pollution Control Board
  • Obtaining license under Rice-Milling Industry Act, 1958
  • GST registration
  • Registering with PFA & ESIC with employee details
  • Registering with IEC registration in case of exports
