A Sample Rice Processing Mill Business Plan Template

1. industry overview.

Rice milling is a very important process in post-production, as this is when the husk and bran layers are removed to then produce edible white rice that free of impurities. However, milling of the rice is usually dependent on the preference of the customers, which would invariably affect how many milling processes the rice would have to go through.

Rice milling businesses have grown over the years in the united states of America  and this is due to the fact that rice is the staple food of most countries of the world, and is eaten almost every day and especially during special occasions. Fortunately, since there hasn’t been any alternative to rice, this is a business that would continue to boom for a long time.

Even though most of the rice consumed in some countries is imported, however in the United States of America, it is a different ball game. There is large rice farms where rice is harvested locally, thereby ensuring that the rice can be milled locally.

The milling production is one that can help in employing several hands that would help boost the economy and also help increase the per capita income of those employed as well as their dependants. Even though this is a profitable business to go into, it is also very competitive as more entrepreneurs are seeing the benefit this sort of business poses as a worthwhile investment.

6. SWOT Analysis

A rice mill production business is a capital and labor intensive business, and so would require huge sums to start up. Our awareness of this fact has created in us a resolve to ensure that the business becomes profitable and breaks even in its second or third year.

This is where our experience comes to bear and separates us from newbie entrepreneurs that have no knowledge of the business.

We know how necessary carrying out a SWOT analysis is for any business and while we would attempt to do these ourselves, we also have gotten input from an expert consultant on certain trends. The SWOT analysis that we conducted with input from an external consultant for our Trice Rice Mill Business in Idaho is as follows;

Trice Rice Mill Production Ltd is strategically located close to several large rice farms in Idaho, State; the location is regarded as strength because of the convenience to several strategic customers.

Other strengths of Trice Rice Mill Production Ltd include the offering of additional but related services such as storage facilities, sale of milled rice by-products as well as transport facilities for customers. We also consider our excellent and prompt customer service to be a strength as it offers us a competitive advantage.

Our perceived weakness stems from the fact that we seem to be operating regionally, as it could take a while for us to be seen as a national business instead of a regional business.

• Opportunities:

Without an iota of doubt there are loads of opportunities in Idaho. The market is a very big one and we would also have the opportunity to market our good to other parts of the United States of America as well as other parts of the world. Our nearness to the big market will be of great advantage while also work   critically at converting potential consumers to actual clients.

There are several threats that face every business and this is the downturn of the economy as well as the arrival of close competitors to the market.

7. MARKET ANALYSIS

• Market Trends

The fact that more rice farms are springing up locally has seen more rice mills spring up all over the country to be able to meet the demands of the rice farm owners. This has made the business become more competitive as rice mills strive to leverage on every competitive advantage chief of which is offering additional but related services as well as continually improving on its customer service.

Another trend is to open more storage facilities across different locations, this way customers that are far from the mills do not have to worry about having their products stored so far away. This is a competitive edge over most rice mill production businesses.

8. Our Target Market

In carrying out a thorough research, we were able to site our business in Idaho due to the various rice farms in the state. The location also brings us in close proximity to other states within the region where there are several rice farms as well.

The location will be of immense benefit to rice farm owners as well as wholesalers who get their unmilled rice from other regions; thereby allowing them to quickly cater to the teeming customers that abide.

Our Competitive Advantage

From thorough research and due to the profit viability of this business, several rice mill production businesses have sprung up not only in Idaho but in other regions that are close to offer a stiff competition as well. Idaho has various rice milling production plants as well as several others in other states that are close to it.

Our research did not however look into what sort of completion we were likely to have but also what their weaknesses were so that we could come up with strategies that would ensure we have competitive advantage over them and become the go-to rice mill production plant for our target customers.

One of our competitive advantages is in ensuring that we are strategically located. Our production plant is not only located close to good roads, making it easier for our customers to reach us, but our storage facilities which are spread all over also located in strategic points enabling us to not only attract but retain customers as well.

Another competitive advantage we have is the vast combined experience of the owners who have not only brought this in to bear on the business but have also given them an edge in being proactive in the market by ensuring that unique solutions are given for every challenge and obstacle that arise during the course of running the business.

Asides, from offering additional but related services; we tend to employ the only the best hands to help run the business, but also employees that understand the vision and philosophies of our business and know how this translates to offering the best service to our customers. We intend to ensure that the working conditions for our employees are the envy of other employees from our competitors.

9. SALES AND MARKETING STRATEGY

• Sources of Income

We intend to use conventional and non-conventional means of promoting Trice Rice Mill Production Ltd. We know how important it is for our immediate customers to accept our rice mill and then ensure it is the preferred go-to mill for their rice products.

We know that a good standing in the location where we are based, will invariably affect our other branches that will be in other regions positively.

13. Startup Expenditure (Budget)

The cost in starting up any business is usually dependent on the size and scale of the business in question. If you intend to start up a small scale business whose size is small in terms of employees and size of facility, your start-up expenditure cannot then be compared to those who intend to start on a large scale, having a large facility and several machines and also employing several hands.

This invariably means that your start-up budget will depend exactly on what you intend to achieve with your business and the vision you had in mind as regards the business.

Even though the standard milling machine used in rice milling production businesses is basically the same, having more than one of the machine will see your cost tripling. However, costs of the machine and tools to be used are usually the same with few cost difference in-between which would depend on where the machine would be coming in from (foreign country) or locally.

This does not mean that you cannot get the machine for fairly used from other rice mill production plants; however, ensure that the machine is in a good condition so that you don’t end up spending more to fix it up. Regardless of all the above listed factors, there are several basic requirements that you would need to fulfill if you intend to start your own rice mill production business;

• Business registration and incorporation fees – $750 Dollars
• Obtaining licenses and permits – $1,300 Dollars
• Insurance (equipment, vehicle, and workers’ compensation as well as general liability) – $105,600 Dollars
• Marketing, promotion and publicity expenses for at least six months – $70,000 Dollars
• Rent and renovation of facility for operation and storage facilities for at least one year – $200,000
• Cost of hiring a publicity consultant – $2500 Dollars
• Operational cost for the first three months which would include employee salaries and payment of bills – $10,000 Dollars
• Start-up inventory – $13,750 Dollars
• Other start-up expenses (POS Machines, utilities, and stationeries) – $10,000 Dollars
• Purchase of truck for use in operation – $50,000
• Purchase of furniture and gadgets (computers, printers, photocopiers) for administrative section – $25,000 Dollars
• Cost of store equipment (security, ventilation, racks) – $600 Dollars
• Cost of launching a secure website – $7,000 Dollars
• Miscellaneous (signage, business cards) – $10,000 Dollars

From the above requirements, an estimate of $305,900 Dollars would be needed in order to successfully set up a standard rice mill production plant in Idaho State. The amount includes the salaries of all employees for the first three months of operations.

Generating Funding/Startup Capital for Trice Rice Mills

We have the sufficient experience to know how important finance is to any business either profit or non-profit. Without finance, an idea remains an idea, and every entrepreneur worth his salt knows that to make an idea become a reality, funds have to be sourced for.

Select a location with easy access to paddy supply and markets. Ensure it meets zoning requirements and has adequate space for processing and storage.

7. Rice Mill Plant Unit Establishment

First of all, you must figure out the requirement of the area. Generally, it broadly depends on two aspects. Whether the unit will be using a parboiling unit for pre-treatment of paddy before the commencement of milling operation or it will be directly milling raw paddy. Generally, 1.00 to 1.50 acres of land are required for establishing an improved rice milling unit having an installed processing capacity of 2 MT/ hr.

The total power requirement will be to the tune of 75 KW. However, the essential power requirement of the unit is about 90 HP, and accordingly, a suitable standby generator provision is made. Additionally, you have to arrange water for parboiling and domestic consumption purpose. Therefore, you must ensure suitable arrangements for a continuous water supply of desired quality and quantity.

You must build several constructions for different unit activities. Such as raw paddy godown, cleaning unit, drier, and necessary supporting structures such as boiler/blower system, etc., milling section, finished product stores, machine rooms, etc. Additionally, you must maintain Quality Control and Standards as per AGMARK specifications.

8. Buy Machinery

Acquire and install the necessary equipment, including cleaning machines, milling machines, polishers, graders, and packaging machinery.

Abstracts Rice is the most economically important food crop in many developing countries and has also become a major crop in many developed countries where its consumption has increased considerably. It has become necessary to meet the demand of the world’s current population growth rate, and the least costly means for achieving this aim is to increase rice productivity, wherever possible. The main challenges encountered by rice processors in Nigeria are to find appropriate solutions for quality rice processing. Therefore this work provides basic information about the challenges of rice processing and focuses on the challenges faced by the small scale rice processors and reasons for continuous rice importation with a view to guiding decision-making to be self-sufficient in rice production, thereby making some improvement in Nigerian economy

The development of local rice in Indonesia must always be encouraged, in addition to a way to maintain the wealth of germplasm, also because its uniqueness is the source of its advantage. Although a lot of local rice varieties have not been developed, a number of unique rice varieties have their own market share and make them premium rice varieties, such as pandanwangi. In Indonesia, pandanwangi rice has been known as a superior rice having a distinctive taste and aroma, and has high economic value. Technically, pandanwangi rice cultivation is different from other rice varieties that are massively developed in Indonesia such as IR or Ciherang. Due to its characteristics, pandanwangi rice cultivation requires a higher effort and longer cultivation time than the others. This paper briefly describes the objective conditions of pandanwangi rice, particularly related to the problems in its development, describes the social relation among institutions to develop pandanwangi varieties, and...

Udeme Usanga

Akwa Ibom State has a large expanse of land and ecosystem suitable for rice cultivation, but the state is not considered among the leading rice producers in the country. States numbered among rice producers are: Kebbi, Benue, Ebonyi and Ekiti. However, with the Presidential initiative on agriculture and the ban on importation of rice, home-grown rice production is beginning to receive a boost in the Country. Simple random sampling method was used to select eight (10) home-grown rice communities in Ini (Ikot Udom and Ikot Asidem, Ikot Andem Ididep and Afaha Ise, Itai Idoro, Ikot Inyang and Ikot Edom) and (Nsai-Use Ikot Amama) in Ibiono Ibom Local Government Areas of the state. A linear programme (LP) model with the objective function of profit maximization was used to determine the potential of the study area for satisfying the goals of rice production under two production scenarios: (Paddy and Processed rice) and inherent constraints. The main objective of the study was to develop and apply methods of Linear programming for determining optimum productivity and profitability levels of African rice. The socioeconomic characteristics of the respondents showed that majority were female (80%), married (90%), aged between 46 – 55 years (76%), educated up to secondary school level (67%), with farm size between 0.15 – 0.90 hectares, i. e less than (≤) 1 ha (88%), while (82%) farmed on rented farmlands. Linear Programming result shows that 6.5kg of processed rice and 27.7kg of paddy rice should be produced respectively, which will give a maximum profit of ₦1,107.75/kg. The most evident common limiting factors to maximizing profit were land size and labour cost. An additional hectare of land has the potential to increase aggregate profit. The Federal Government of Nigeria should recognize Akwa Ibom State a one of the local rice producing areas and include her in agricultural policies so that small scale producers enjoy and participate effectively and efficiently in the rice production evolution for food security, employment and income generation.

Rice occupies a conspicuous place in agricultural crops. It is cultivated in at least 114 countries of the world. Total world rice production in 2007-08 was 420,618 thousand metric tones. In Pakistan, rice is the third largest crop in terms of area and is cultivated over an area of about 2.6 million hectares with the production of about 5.54 million tones and an average yield of 2117 kg/ha.

Rice [Working Title]

Mayurakshee Mahanta

Being an amazing picturesque of land, the North Eastern Hill Region of India, consisting of more than 200 ethnic groups, has only about 2.27% of the total rice area and shares only 1.96% of the total rice production in the country. Whether profitable or not, the rice cultivation is a way of life for the people of North Eastern Hill Region of India. Till today, the production and productivity of rice in this region is below the national average because of its fragile ecosystem and the varied physio-graphic conditions pertaining to this region. Neither the wider recommendation of agricultural technology such as variety nor the use of a single technology or variety can solve this problem of low yield. However, the development of location specific high yielding rice variety using the existing land races prevalent in the area can be one of the promising technique for improving the production and productivity of rice cultivation in this region.

Rice is the major crop of more than 100 countries and production systems of rice have been classified into various groups depending on the context over years. In this Review, an attempt has been made to describe the production systems of rice widely used across the globe. Rice production systems are classified as (a) transplanted rice (TPR) production systems and (b) direct-seeded rice (DSR) production systems on the basis of different methods of world rice production. DSR production systems are also classified as (i) production system for dry-seeded rice (dry-DSR), (ii) production system for wet-seeded rice (wet-DSR) and (iii) production system for water-seeded rice (water-DSR). When the best management practices are used, TPR and DSR efficiency is stated to be comparable. This review contains information on rice production systems as well as recommend potential research needs for rising the productivity in rice production systems in order to meet future food demands.

How to setting up rice milling business in Philippines

As with any other type of grain processing business, there are two ways to make this happen. Either start a rice milling shop to processing paddy for the farmer or build a rice milling plant to sell your own brand white rice.Each has its pros and cons so you should weigh your options carefully before venturing into this type of business.

The milled rice is therefore very clean.it can be operated by just one man.

The investor can install one in a community where small rice farmers produce quantities that the big rice processing complexes will not care to accept. the small rice farmers  can have their harvest milled and sell the same as commercial rice, they will significantly increase their income. Many farmers harvest 120 cavans of palay from one hectare. If they sell the palay at P17 per kilo, the gross income will be P102,000.

But if they have their harvest milled by 6LN15 paddy rice mill plant, they will get total of 3,900 kilos of polished rice. Because the rice is of high quality, that will sell at P42 per kilo and the gross value will be P163,000.

Even if you’re starting with a smaller operation initially, it’s always wise to plan ahead for growth so that you can easily expand without major disruptions down the line. By carefully considering these factors before designing your rice mill layout plant , you can ensure that everything runs smoothly once operations begin!

Understanding the Different Stages of Rice Milling Process

Rice milling is a complex process that involves several stages to transform raw paddy into edible rice. Each stage plays a crucial role in producing high-quality rice with optimal nutritional value and taste. 1. Pre-cleaning: The first step in the rice milling process is pre-cleaning, where impurities such as stones, straw, and dust are removed from the paddy using various cleaning equipment like vibrating screens and de-stoners. 2. Dehusking: In this stage, the outer husk layer of the paddy is removed through mechanical or abrasive methods. This process helps expose the brown rice within. 3. Whitening: To obtain white rice, the brown rice undergoes whitening, which involves removing bran layers from each grain using friction or abrasion techniques.

• Polishing: After whitening, polishing enhances the appearance and texture of the grains by buffing them with rollers or brushes to remove any remaining bran particles on their surface. 5. Sorting and grading: The final stage involves sorting and grading based on size, shape, color, and quality parameters using electronic sorters or sieves to separate broken grains from whole ones.

Each stage requires specialized machinery designed for specific functions like hullers for dehusking or silky polishers for whitening. Understanding these different stages allows mill owners to optimize their plant layout by placing appropriate equipment at strategic points throughout production lines.

Essential Equipment and Machinery for a Rice Mill Plant

A well-designed rice mill layout requires the right equipment and machinery to ensure efficient processing of the harvested rice. Here are some essential pieces of equipment that every rice mill plant should have: 1. Paddy Separator: This machine separates paddy from the brown rice, ensuring a clean separation and reducing waste. 2. De-stoner: As its name suggests, this machine removes stones and other impurities from the raw material, preventing damage to subsequent processing machines. 3. Husker: The husker is responsible for removing the outer husk layer from brown rice grains, leaving behind white or brown rice kernels. 4. Whitener: After husking, the whitener further refines the grains by removing bran layers on each kernel’s surface, resulting in polished white rice.

• Polisher: This machine adds shine to polished white rice by friction rubbing against it under pressure, enhancing its appearance and market value. 6. Grader/Sorter: The grader sorts milled rice based on size or quality criteria specified by customers or industry standards. 7. Packaging Machine: To facilitate storage and transportation of processed rice, automatic packaging machines can be used to pack it into bags or containers efficiently. Additionally, other supporting machinery such as conveyors, elevators, blowers/fans for air circulation are necessary to transport materials within the plant effectively. By investing in these essential pieces of equipment and machinery specifically designed for your desired production capacity and output quality requirements you can streamline your milling process significantly!
