The journey from harvesting to packaging ensures that long grain basmati rice from India meets high standards for consumption and export. Harvesting begins when the rice plants mature and turn golden, using sickles or combine harvesters. The harvested rice is then transported to the threshing area, where machines efficiently separate grains from stalks.
Following harvesting, the rice undergoes thorough cleaning to remove impurities such as dirt, stones, and husks. Subsequently, the grains are dried either under the sun or in mechanical dryers to reduce moisture content, preventing spoilage. Once dried, the rice undergoes milling to remove the outer husk, resulting in brown rice. Further milling removes the bran layer, yielding white rice. Polishing is then done to give the white rice its characteristic shiny appearance.
After milling and polishing, the rice is meticulously sorted and graded based on size and quality criteria. It is then carefully packaged into bags or containers, ensuring it remains clean, safe, and attractive to consumers and meets the stringent requirements for export, particularly of 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐞, known for its aromatic qualities and slender grains.
