Our production process starts from sourcing good quality rice from millers. We sample the rice from every truck-load that enters our factory. Samples are sent to our lab to test purity, moisture, whiteness, broken percentage, and cooked texture to ensure that the rice meets our expectations.

 

In our storage process, we take different actions depending on the type of rice. Our White Rice is kept in a storehouse to ensure high capacity, good air circulation, and cool temperature. These qualities help preserve
the quality of our rice.

 

Our Jasmine Rice is stored in a temperature control silo where the temperature is kept at below 20 c. This new technology helps prevent weight and quality losses caused by insects and imbalanced moisture, replaces the needs for chemical protective measures, and preserves the fragrance, softness, and whiteness of our the rice.

 

When orders come in, rice is then moved from storage to the production process. First, rice is decontaminated to remove impurities such as weed, rocks, and paddy rice. Next, it is polished to ensure the uniform shining appearance in our rice. Then, the polished rice is sifted to remove the broken grains. Afterwards, it is passed through an advanced laser-coloring sorter that grades the rice seed by seed. This machine separates the irregular-colored grains from the rest to assure that
our rice is ready for packaging.

 

At the packaging stage, automated machines are used to pack the rice to avoid human contact. Once the rice is packaged, they are now ready to be shipped to their destination.
