Bhubaneswar: In a significant development, a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was signed here today for production of rice straw based bio-fuel in Odisha.
The agreement was inked between Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT) in presence of Union Petroleum & Natural Gas Minister Dharmendra Pradhan at auditorium of the varsity.
The proposed ‘Biofuel Chair’ will conduct research for screening of best agricultural crops and develop new agricultural varieties which can yield more cellulose content, tweeted Pradhan.
The move came in view of the rice production in Odisha, where the annual rice production is registered 85 lakh tonne with approximate production of 100 lakh tonne of rice straw. Except use of rice straw as fodder and few domestic purposes, it has no economic utilization.
BPCL came forward on technology partnership with OUAT for effective utilization of rice straw for bio-fuel production in a bio-chemical enzymatic process with financial support of Rs 5 crore. Out of the total budget allocation, Rs 2 Crore will be used as a corpus for BPCL chair and Rs 3 crore as research contingency for development, establishment and popularization of the bio-fuel production technology. This endeavour is in line with the policy decision for supplementation of 10% straw based ethanol for increasing fuel efficiency and reducing the pressure on fossil fuel.
The OUAT will support BPCL in strengthening technical support for ensuring smooth functioning of 2G Ethanol Bio-Refinery at Bargarh, Pradhan tweeted.
Speaking on the occasion, Pradhan proposed OUAT to establish an Agri-Business Incubation Centre in the campus to promote students, farmers and young entrepreneurs in Odisha. He urged the State government to extend all cooperation for the establishment of Incubation Centre at OUAT

Basmati Billionaires: 'We are born in rice'

Basmati Billionaires: 'We are born in rice'

November 29, 2017 09:04 IST

The promoter family of KRBL reaps gains from high demand for the rice variety in India and overseas.

The promoters of KRBL, which makes the popular India Gate basmati rice, raised Rs 15 crores through an initial public offering in 1995.
Twenty-two years later, the country’s most profitable basmati rice company has a market capitalisation of nearly Rs 15,000 crores.

The KRBL stock has made handsome gains since last November, rising 194 per cent from a 52-week-low of Rs 228.90 to hit a new high of Rs 672.90 early this month. It closed at Rs 624.35 on the BSE on Tuesday.

The rally has turned the promoter family, Anil Mittal and brothers, into the country’s first basmati billionaire. With their 59 per cent stake in the company, the family’s wealth is now estimated at Rs 8,700 crores ($1 billion is equal to Rs 6,517 crores at the current exchange rate).

KRBL, named after Mittal’s forefathers Khushi Ram and Behari Lal, the two brothers who founded this company in Pakistan’s Lyallpur in 1989 and the family shifted to India in 1947, earned a record profit of Rs 400 crores on revenues of Rs 3,148 crore last year.

During the first half of FY18, its profit surged 35 per cent to Rs 242 crores.

Two of KRBL’s listed peers -- LT Foods and Kohinoor Foods -- were nowhere close to its profitability. LT Foods, which clocked revenues similar to KRBL, made a profit of Rs 71 crores in the first half of 2017-2018, while Kohinoor’s profit was just Rs 5 crores.

“We feel proud about this growth in valuations. The main driver is our brand and its demand in India and overseas. Our rice commands a premium in the domestic market and export realisation is higher than industry average,” said Mittal, chairman and managing director, KRBL. 

Export brings little over one-third of the revenues, and the company claims a 33 per cent share in the domestic branded basmati market.

Being a diabetic, Mittal avoids rice, but he enjoys the aroma of his success. He counts the names of top domestic and global food companies that struggled to carve success in the basmati rice market. Multinationals like Cargill, Olam, Unilever, and PepsiCo tried their hands years ago and decided to quit.

An India Gate basmati ad. Courtesy: India Gate
Mittal recalls how a meeting was set between him and Cargill’s management in Gurgaon to discuss business. “They wanted the same quality of rice like India Gate. They wanted me to create my own competition. I was told that there is a queue of people waiting to sell to Cargill. But I told them that I am not desperate. I told them that they have touched a wrong business. They went out of basmati in two years.”

But Mittal has had his learning from these MNCs. “You get to learn excellent systems and transparency from these big multinationals.”

Domestic FMCG major ITC also falls in the list of companies that experimented with basmati. Patanjali is among the new entrants. “Patanjali is doing fantastic in many products but I am yet to see their success in rice,” said Mittal, whose company is nearly debt free, except a loan of Rs 95 crores in the wind power business.

“We are born in rice. We have worked day and night. Rice is not a business where you stop working after 6 pm. You have to be into it,” says the 66-year-old businessman, who started his career with rice trading in early 1970s and went on to set up the company’s first rice plant in 1990 by investing Rs 25 lakhs. From a milling capacity of six tonnes an hour and a single plant, KRBL today has four plants with a total capacity of 195 tonnes an hour.

Mittal says the Indian market is very difficult. “Outside, if you need paddy for rice production, you just need to call a broker and you will get clean, dry paddy to your specifications. Here, you have to buy 25 to 30 bags from every mandi (wholesale market). When paddy is harvested, we end up procuring from 300 to 400 mandis in Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh,” he says.

From the stage of procurement till the paddy enters a plant, he says, there are several challenges, such as gaps in weighing and loss in transportation. “There is connivance at various levels of this chain. You have to keep your eyes open. So many rice varieties look like basmati, and if you don’t have the expertise, you could land in trouble. We have a system that enables us to sustain competition and maintain quality.”

Another thing that can kill you is high interest burden, explains Mittal. “If the interest outgo is under control and you are able to command a good price in the market, you can taste success.” He says losing money is not advisable in any business even if you have deep pockets.

KRBL, backed by its financial strengths, builds large quantities of rice stocks in years when the paddy price is low. The company had a stock of 300,000 tonnes of rice as of September 30. This stock alone is worth over Rs 1,500 crores. The cost of this rice is just Rs 36 a kg against the current paddy price of Rs 32 (which translates into a rice cost of Rs 50 to Rs 55 a kg).

“I am sitting in a very comfortable position. My export realisation is Rs 80 a kg, and in domestic, it is around Rs 50-60 a kg,” he says.

Of the 100 million tonnes rice annually produced in India, Mittal says only 6 per cent is basmati. “But, of this 6 million, only two million tonnes is domestic consumption, and the rest is exported. This two million can more than double in the next few years. We are ready. We have to take this company from Rs 15,000 crores to Rs 30,000 crores,” he says.

Mittal is certain that the family will never trade in company’s shares. “Our position will remain unchanged even if the share goes up to Rs 900 tomorrow or comes down for any reason. Our business is to make money from rice,” he says.

How to Start Rice Business?

How to Start Rice Business?

Rice is the staple food of several Asian countries. Suffice to say rice business is very common in these countries.
But this doesn't mean that western or any other countries are not up with this kind of business. In this article you can have an overview of how to start rice business.
start rice business
Of course, in any kind of business feasibility study or the planning stage is always the first step to take. Ask yourself what kind of rice business you want: rice farming business, rice dealership business, rice mill business, and wholesale or retail rice selling business.
With rice farming business, obviously you will need a large parcel of land. You will need excellent irrigation system, the best seeds, the best fertilizers, the most effective pesticides, harvester, seeders and tractors for plowing the land. These are just the basic necessities of this kind of rice business for you to be able to start and eventually and hopefully sell after the harvest season.
Rice mill business is also a good rice business. You will need a huge barn or storage area for the produce that will be milled and that has been milled. You will also need to invest for a rice milling machine. Proper maintenance of the rice milling machine is very important in this kind of business.

It is better to purchase a new one rather than a refurbished one. Refurbished rice milling machine may be cheaper but in the long run it will be more costly for you due to the high cost of maintenance and probably for the repair of the machine. You will also need to hire an operator of your rice milling machine.
With rice dealership business and with any kind of business for that matter, you need to apply for a business license. You need to look for a big storage room for the sacks of rice that will be delivered to you. You will also need to scout for a good location for your rice dealership business. You also have to implement FIFO (first in first out policy).
You need to have several varieties of rice, so that your customers will have several options. Get a comprehensive non-life insurance policy for your business; make sure that you include the clause regarding “Acts of God” in your insurance policy. Better be insured than be sorry.
The guidelines regarding rice dealership business may also apply with the retail and wholesale business. An additional guideline for this business is to ask for referrals from companies and friends. And be prepared to loose. If there are there peak season in any business of course there will also be lean season. So you have to prepare yourself for this scenario. Make alternative plans prior to the lean season month/s. Offer discounts and other marketing strategies during this season.

    To all those that wise to start a rice mill in your area please allow me to pass you my consideration what I have learned about starting and operating a small milling operation. Those that have medium to large size operations they do not need anything I have to say.

    First thing as in anything else in life we are much better off doing things in a group so that we have a support we can contribute to and also benefit from. Those that are decided to do thing alone have made up their mind and may not want to consider anything I might have to say. It is only meant as a friendly advise in any case.

    We know that there are other farmers around us and most of them poor just like us. Maybe we have others throughout the years spend season after season borrowing money just to be able to harvest enough to pay for the money we borrowed and perhaps have enough rice left to eat. A single rice mill will nowadays can be purchased for around what is the equivalent of $5,000.00 US dollars and there are dryers we can also purchase for a similar amount. Rice had to be dried soon after harvest so that it will last long enough to allow the rice to be milled and then sold or taken to market to be sold.

    If you can begin by lending money to farmers you can trust for a long enough period to multiply your own money to raise what you need to buy a mill, build a housing around the mill and also a dryer then you can either sell the rice at retail or sell it to other retailers at a lesser price. This will give you enough money to run your milling business and always have enough money to keep your business running without running to low in money. It is easy to run yourself right out of business in you start with only the minimum amount of money necessary. Be patient and work until you are sure you will survive and your business will always have customers or if you do everything for yourself enough rice to mill and sell without running out.

    There are other possibilities which can and will help you have more success. If you want to know more or simply talk more with me about how this can be done you can email me at javiermitzli@ymail.com

  • James expert adviser said on March 11, 2011
    @narasimha goud goud, there are few things to know before you plan for rice mill. Normally rice mill capacity is defined by paddy entry and per hour. Here are some pointers.

    What is the cost of 3 tons per hour rice mill in India?
    For raw rice it will cost you about 25,000,000 INR or 2.5 crore rupees. This includes the working capital but not the land cost. For parboiled rice of same size will cost you 3.5 crore rupees.

    How many employees needed to run a 3 tph rice mill?
    You need about 15 employees to run the plant but it also depends how much automation you have done in your plant.

  • Amit Sharma expert adviser said on March 24, 2011
    @Linto, If you want to trade rice from Uttar Pradesh to Kerala. You only need to register your firm in sales tax office of your state, Once you get the registration number you can start trading rice from any mill in Uttar Pradesh. There is no license needed to trade rice within india. Manufacture will issue the Bill to your firm and then you can sell it with your desired rates.

    @narasimha, You cannot setup a good rice mill with Rs. 40 lacs. You have to buy machinery, you have to invest on building and warehouse and the most important investment is Working Capital. If your bank can finance you Rs.2 Crores as Term Loan and Rs. 1 Crore as working capital then only you can jump into this business. Discuss it with your bank, As your bank may finance you after evaluating the Value of your Properties.

  • James expert adviser said on March 30, 2011
    @leena, all the central and south states are major producer of paddy so you can start anywhere in those states. Minimum cost to start a mill depends with your size of the mill, it can be as little as 1-1.5 crore indian rupees.

My parents have a family business which is a small rice mill in Cambodia. Hence, I want to be a rice dealer. firstly, I want to run this kind of business around Cambodia and ambitiously in Southeast Asia. Hopefully, my parents will invest with me. But they don't trust about my age to run this business. Does age matter in Business? I want to be a rice dealer while I'm studying in order to save money for studying abroad. I would like to know some hints on Rice Dealership Business. I apologize for any mistakes. I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Best Regards, Kunthea (kun7hea@yahoo.com)

  • Santosh Gupta beginner adviser said on May 14, 2011
    After going through this blog, I thought its worth putting some extra information about rice mill plant and machinery. As everyone know, the main hassle in starting rice mill business is big investment in plant and machinery. I guess not now anymore. We deal in complete rice mill plant which is cost efficient and low maintenance as well. If anyone is interested for more information, I can be contacted through my email( santoshnp@yahoo.com).

I have 50 lacs which I know is not enough but I can take loan as well. I want to setup a 2/4 tonne rice mill. As far as I understand I could get paddy from mandi and process it. But I am not sure where and how we sell it. How about exporting it. I want to process mainly basmati rice. Where I can get good quality and cheap rice mill. Please help me with the information so that I could start my business. Please contact em via email rahul1981@hotmail.com. Early reply would be appreciated. Regards Rahul

  • Amit Sharma expert adviser said on July 7, 2011
    @Rahul, A feasible rice mill cant start with the budget of Rs. 50 lakhs.
    Even you manage to get the loan you need more than 50 lakhs as working capital.
    Dont trust the people committing you that they can setup a good rice mill in less than 50 lakhs, there are lots of frauds roaming in this business all over india.

    can we need to take license from govt, if we, then whom to we consult and what are the basic requirements/needs to start a rice mil.
  • Amit Sharma expert adviser said on July 11, 2011
    @tanuja, To start a rice mill first you need minimum of 2 Acres of  land, Atleast Rs. 2 Crores for 4 TPH Rice Mill and Approx Same amount for the working capital. The main advantage of this business is that you need not rely on the local market as Govt. itself is the primary consumer of your finished product.

    Hi, I want to start the business with a auto rice mill. But I don't know the procedure and what machinaries are needed and how much money needed for in it at my native district.
  • Amit Sharma expert adviser said on July 31, 2011
    @Tanay ganguly, There are 2 types of Rice Mill,
    1. To Produce Raw Rice from Paddy
    2. To Produce Par-boiled Rice from Paddy
    A Feasible  Automatic Rice Mill With Parboiled Section has the minimum capacity of 4 Ton/Hr  and this project cost is Approx. 3 Crores, Same project with semi-automation will cost you Approx. 2.5 Crores. almost same amount you need for working capital.
    To start this business, first you need at least 2 Acres of Land and then meet a MILLING TECHNOLOGIST who will design your plant as per your requirement and Budget you have.
    There are few other options to start this business with less investment like you can setup a semi-automatic Raw rice plant with the capacity of 3 Ton/Hr with a small budget of Rs. 70 Lakhs for Plant & Machinery and Rs. 1 Crore for working Capital.
