From our floor
Milled to your contract, not to our stock
Every lot is milled against the specification on your order — broken percentage, moisture, grain length and bag format are set before the paddy enters the line, not matched afterwards from whatever is in the warehouse.
Quality is checked at each transfer point and again before the container is sealed, so what leaves Chandrapur is what your contract describes.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Which broken percentage sells best in West Africa?
5% and 25% cover most of the trade, in 50 kg bags. 100% broken moves separately, into processing and lower-price retail.
How does parboiled rice hold up in humid ports?
Better than raw milled rice — that is much of why the market prefers it. We pack at 14% maximum moisture and can add an inner liner for longer transits.
Can you match a sample we are already buying?
Send it to us. We will mill against it, return our own sample and state in writing where the two differ before you commit to a container.
