Paddy Selection
|
|
| |
|

 After
harvesting in Oct - Dec, farmers bring in their produce to the rice
mills for sale. BRM has its purchase points established in the heart
of major basmati growing areas in Punjab and hence remains in easy
reach of the farmers.
Before a particular lot of paddy is purchased, it is subjected to
various tests. This includes inspection by a team of experienced
selectors and paddy-experts, tests for moisture contents, kett-test,
field admixture etc. Samples are then processed in the mini mill to
determine yield, kett-test and after-cooking characteristics. A lot
is purchased only when it meets the stringent quality requirements
of the company. Preference is however, given to farmers who
coordinate with BRM's staff from seedling to harvesting stage.

 Selection
of paddy is a process where a rice mill needs to devote most of its
energies, expertise and time. Quality of final product largely
depends upon the paddy procured. Many rice mills avoid to
indulge in such a laborious process and purchase semi-processed rice
from brokers instead of paddy from farmers. Unfortunately, this
cannot be done without compromising on quality.
BRM has a different strategy though. Paddy is purchased at the beginning of rice season
that effectively eliminates all chances of mixing of inferior varieties. This is
so because paddy of different varieties of rice matures at different
times and cannot be mixed with each other. On the other hand
semi-processed rice available with brokers during rest of the year
remains prone to mixing that is often hard to detect.
