Madhepura's Kosi paddy is milled by old hullers that lose grain and grade, while custom-milling for FCI and state procurement is steady, contracted demand. A modern rubber-roll rice mill with sortex grading captures both the recovery gain and the institutional B2B stream.

This is a modern rice mill: rubber-roll de-husking, paddy separation, polishing and optical (sortex) grading, plus a paddy-aggregation operation that buys from Kosi farmers at harvest. It builds on the district's paddy base alongside its Mango orchards agri economy and draws skilled hands from the local Bamboo craft skill base for ancillary packaging. The play captures the milling-and-grading margin that worn hullers leave on the table — higher head-rice recovery, cleaner grade, and a saleable bran and broken-rice byproduct stream.
The steady demand here is custom-milling against FCI and state paddy procurement, which gives contracted, low-marketing-risk throughput; branded local rice for regional retail layers on margin. Honest constraints: paddy is seasonal so storage and working capital dominate the model, procurement-scheme paperwork and quality specs are exacting, and power reliability matters for sortex uptime. Buyers are FCI and state agencies for custom-milled rice, plus wholesalers and regional retail for branded packs. A mango pulp-and-pickle line can use the same procurement network in a later phase.
