There's Value addition at every step - from procurement to processing. We have integrated our complete plant operations so as to maintain the highest quality standards at low energy cost. Our skill lies in optimum utilization of resources, including wastes and byproducts and continuous qualitative improvement in operations.
Procurement is the lifeline of our business, and being in the breadbasket of India certainly helps. Being in the business of food products means following the laws of nature and harnessing them to our advantage. That's why the Basmati and Non-Basmati varieties of rice are processed
in the natural way at our plant. The result, consistently superior quality of Basmati and Non-Basmati varieties of rice. The accent is to retain the natural goodness of the products for the daily consumption of the end-users.

The paddy that is procured usually has a moisture content up
to 18%. However, through constant monitoring and storing under ideal conditions for 12 months, the moisture content is reduced to 12%. After shelling, it is sent for polishing. The grains are polished seven times to give them that silky appearance. Subsequently,
color sorting takes place where, only uniform color rice grains are retained and the rest discarded. After grading and sorting, the rice is stored in large bins for maturing and ageing. Non-Basmati is matured for one year, while Basmati for three years, under controlled weather conditions.
In case of edible oils, select seeds with 6-7% moisture content are crushed to attain just 3% moisture content. The Lakshmi Group has imported technology from Germany for processing of oils, whereby the oils passes through different stages, resulting in
odorless refined oil. Finally, it is made to pass through several micro filters before being packed.
In our eco-friendly plants, nothing goes waste. All the by-products are further processed to produce value added products like Rice Bran oil, Cattle
Feed, Boiler Fuel, etc.
