Rice

We trade non-GMO white rice (Oryza sativa) in two processing grades under a single logistics operation. Grade 1 is the superior quality, with maximum tolerances of 5% broken grains, 1.5% plastered grains and 1.7% pitted or spotted grains; it targets premium markets, retail and buyers that require whole, uniform and well-presented grain.

Grade 2 admits a higher share of broken grains (up to 15%), green or plastered grains (up to 3%) and foreign matter (up to 1%); it supplies mass consumption, the food industry and processes where whole grain integrity is not critical. Both grades share origin, botanical variety, new polypropylene bag packaging and a 1-year shelf life from manufacture.

1. Selection and dehulling. Paddy rice received at the plant is cleaned to remove stones, foreign bodies and impurities, then dehulled to produce brown rice. Husks are separated in-line for energy recovery.

2. Polishing and grade sorting. Brown rice is polished to remove bran until whiteness reaches ≥ 40%. After polishing, the flow is optically and size-sorted: whole, defect-free grains with low broken content form Grade 1; the remainder, with higher tolerances for broken, plastered grains and foreign matter, forms Grade 2.

3. Packaging and dispatch. Each grade is packed in new polypropylene bags with lot identification and manufacturing date. Lots are stored under controlled conditions until dispatch, with a 1-year shelf life from the production date.
