1. Introduction:
The Rice milling is the process that helps in removal of hulls
and brans from paddy grains to produce polished rice. Rice is
rich in genetic diversity with thousands of varieties grown
throughout the world. Rice has been one of man's most
important foods. Today, this unique grain helps sustain twothirds of the world's population. It is life for thousands of
millions of people. It is deeply embedded in the cultural
heritage of their societies. About four-fifths of the world's rice
are produced by small-scale farmers and are consumed locally.
2. Market:
Global rice production in 2008-09 is 460 million tons while
consumption stood around 446 million tons.
Production of Rice in Pakistan:
Rice production in Pakistan holds an extremely important position
in agriculture and the national economy. Pakistan is the world's 11th largest
producer of rice, after China, India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Thailand,
Burma, Philippines, Brazil and Japan. Each year, it produces an average of 6
million tonnes and together with the rest of the South Asia, the country is
responsible for supplying 30% of the world's paddy rice output. Most of these
crops are grown in the fertile Sindh andPunjab region with millions of farmers
relying on rice cultivation as their major source of employment. Among the most
famous varieties grown in Pakistan include the Basmati, known for its flavour and
quality.Pakistan is a major producer of this variety.

3. Manufacturing Process:
Rice forms are the basic primary processed product obtained
from paddy and this is further processed for obtaining various
secondary and tertiary products. Step wise procedure of
processing of paddy to various finished products is illustrated
in the table given below.

5. Investment:
The investment cost for setting up a Rice mill with a capacity
of 4 TPH will be around Rs. 8.69 Crores and the break up of
the cost is tabulated below.

The land requirement will be around 5 acres. The pre-operative

expense includes interest during construction of Rs 0.63
Crores. Plant & Machinery including installation, erecting &
commissioning charges are of Rs. 2.80 Crores and the cost of
electrical infrastructure & furniture & fixtures works out to Rs.
0.20 Crores. Buildings and civil works are estimated to be Rs.
2.02 Crores. Contingencies, electricity deposits are also
considered in the project cost. Margin money for working
capital is estimated to be Rs. 1.32 Crores.
