Cultivation of Basmati Rice
Basmati rice requires neutral soils like clay and loamy for excellent results. These soils hold moisture for a longer period.
Seed Selection
The seed selection plays an important role. After selection, the seeds are treated and the waste seeds are separated and taken out from quality seeds.

Hulling is a process in which the dried rice is rolled on with machines. By rolling machines the hull is loosened and removed from the rice, further down the process the hulled kernels are separated from the heavier unhulled grains
Packing and Storing of Basmati Rice
The rice is then further Milled through our processing system. In first stage the bran layer is removed, and the second stage is polishing the rice. The polished rice is the white rice which is enriched with nutrients and made more suitable for consumption. These grains are then packed ensuring the value and nutrients are retained while getting ready to be stored or transported to its destination.
