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.
Specification first
Tell us the grade. We will confirm what we can mill and when we can ship.
Send your broken percentage, moisture ceiling, grain length and bag size. You get a written confirmation of the specification, the price and the earliest vessel — normally within 24 hours.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is steam rice the same as parboiled rice?
No. Both are heat-treated, but steam rice is steamed after soaking and milled white, so it stays pale and cooks lighter. Parboiled rice is treated in the husk and comes out golden and firmer.
Why do professional kitchens prefer it?
It holds separate grains when cooked in volume and reheats without turning sticky — which matters when rice is cooked hours before it is served.
