The Science and Art of Converting Paddy to Rice
Converting Basmati paddy into quality rice is an amalgamation of scientific procedures and artistic experience. In addition to state-of-the-art, fully-computerized production lines, it is the experience of the production team that ensures consistent, high-quality output of Basmati Rice. Besides the hi-tech machinery, the control of pressure, precession and hygiene conditions during paddy processing matters a lot for ensuring consistency in quality. At Dunar, our core strength is our production team, comprising professionals with decades of experience in the basmati rice industry.
Paddy Procurement
The production process starts with procurement of paddy from the market channels, the primary channel being mandi auctions. Dunar has a procurement network covering most of the Basmati producing region of India.
We have presence in the following Mandis -
Haryana (55/60 Mandis), Rajasthan (3/3 Mandis), Punjab (110/118 Mandis) and Uttar Pradesh (15/30 Mandis)
Paddy Quality Control Process
We follow SACC procedure for ensuring the paddy matches our high standards of quality requirements.
Selection
During early morning hours of purchase season, Pakka Aarti, a company-appointed Commission Agent in each Mandi, identifies and selects the Paddy heaps that fit into our strict standards.
The following parameters are checked - Admixture, Moisture, Length
Audit
Dunar also has a dedicated purchasing department wherein each purchaser heads the inspection of 5 to 6 Mandis, monitors purchase done by the Pakka Aarti, and rejects any heap deemed unfit as per standards set by the company.
Check
When paddy arrives in the processing unit, Top Management, as well as paddy unloading team, check the master samples of every vehicle that brings the paddy and any samples deemed unfit as per set parameters, are rejected.
Confirmation
At the unloading stage, Paddy Unloader pricks jute bags containing paddy to match POST unloading sample with PRE unloading sample to confirm the quality of the paddy.
As a final check, lab personnel prepare quality and yield report of paddy samples from every vehicle.
