Rice Mills

In short

For rice mills in Tamil Nadu: own-account mills, hulling agents for government agencies or traders, and mills that sell bran or bran oil.
A rice mill works on a thin margin per quintal.
The result turns on how much head rice each quintal of paddy gives, and on what the bran, brokens and husk fetch.

A one-point fall in head-rice recovery can take most of the margin on a quintal.
Paddy is bought in a few weeks and milled over months. Holding it costs interest, storage and loss.
A mill hulling for a government agency must hand back rice at a fixed out-turn. If it recovers less, it makes up the shortfall from its own pocket.
Bran, brokens and husk pay for a large part of the milling. Their income belongs in the cost of rice.

We measure head rice, brokens, bran and husk per quintal of paddy, by variety and lot.
We reconcile paddy issued with rice and by-products delivered.
We credit by-product income to the cost of rice, and value husk used as boiler fuel at what it would sell for.
We cost power, parboiling fuel, labour and bags per quintal.
We compare the margin per quintal from hulling for others with milling on your own account.
We plan paddy stock, bank limits and cash month by month for the season.

We work from your own records, and we show you how each figure was worked out.
