Processing

State-of-the-art rice processing

Our processing facility handles cleaning, grading, sorting, polishing, and packaging under strict quality controls. Every batch undergoes laboratory testing for aroma, grain length, texture, moisture content, mycotoxin levels, and DNA purity. The facility operates under FSSC 22000 certification.

Parboiling and drying

Gentle processing that protects the grain

Our parboiling line uses low-pressure steaming instead of the high pressure common in the industry. Gentler, uniform steaming gelatinizes every grain consistently, improving colour and cooking quality. We then dry the paddy in three gentle stages, finishing at a low 45 degrees Celsius where most mills run far hotter. The result is smoother colour, higher milling yield, and stronger grains.

Technology

Six technology programs, one goal: better data

AWD and IoT System

Alternate Wetting and Drying water management integrated with IoT sensors. Reduces water consumption by up to 30% compared to traditional flood irrigation.

Weather Stations

Automated weather stations across multiple geographic locations. Provide real-time forecasts for irrigation timing and disaster preparedness.

Drone Technology

Drone-based pesticide application for uniform coverage and reduced human exposure. Also used for crop surveillance and health monitoring.

Borewell Metering

IoT-connected borewell and tube well water measurement systems. Real-time tracking of groundwater usage across all field operations.

Canal Water Metering

Canal water measurement with IoT integration. Tracks irrigation water consumption throughout the growing season.

Soil Testing Laboratory

In-house soil testing lab. Continuous monitoring of soil health across partner farms. Expert recommendations for soil improvement.

Procurement

Our own government-approved Mandi Yard

Fortune Rice is the only company in the Indian rice sector operating its own Mandi Yard, located close to our partner farmers' fields. This gives us direct control over procurement quality and pricing. We pay farmers within 72 hours of purchase. We provide agricultural inputs including seeds, pesticides, bio-chemicals, and micro-nutrients. This integrated approach ensures EU-compliant produce from the first step.
