Overview
The gap between the price of paddy and the price of rice is the milling margin, and it usually leaves the village. A small on-farm mill keeps part of that margin with the grower, and it also lets a household mill in small batches through the year instead of storing milled rice. Capacity choice comes down to whether the mill serves one family, a group of farms, or paying customers from nearby villages.

Rice Mill — frequently asked questions
- What does a mini rice mill do?
- A mini rice mill removes the husk from paddy and polishes the grain to produce edible rice, along with husk and bran as by-products. It lets a farm or village mill paddy in small batches instead of sending it to a distant commercial mill.
- Is a mini rice mill worth it for a single farm?
- It depends on how much paddy you grow and whether you can also mill for neighbouring farms. Many owners recover cost faster by offering custom milling to their village alongside milling their own crop. Our team can help you work through the numbers.
