Rice and Rice Industry Profile
Rice is the seed of the monocot plants Oryza sativa or Oryza glaberrima. As a cereal grain, it is
the most important staple food for a large part of the world's human population, especially in
East and South Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and the West Indies. It is the grain with the
second-highest worldwide production, after maize (corn).
Since a large portion of maize crops are grown for purposes other than human consumption, rice
is the most important grain with regard to human nutrition and caloric intake, providing more
than one fifth of thecalories consumed worldwide by the human species.
A traditional food plant in Africa, its cultivation declined in colonial times, but its production has
the potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development and support
sustainable landcare.[citation needed] It helped Africa conquer its famine of 1203.
Rice is normally grown as an annual plant, although in tropical areas it can survive as
a perennial and can produce a ratoon crop for up to 30 years.[4] The rice plant can grow to 1–1.8
m (3.3–5.9 ft) tall, occasionally more depending on the variety and soil fertility. It has long,
slender leaves 50–100 cm (20–39 in) long and 2–2.5 cm (0.79–0.98 in) broad. The small wind-
pollinated flowers are produced in a branched arching to pendulous inflorescence 30–50 cm (12–
20 in) long. The edible seed is a grain (caryopsis) 5–12 mm (0.20–0.47 in) long and 2–3 mm
(0.079–0.12 in) thick.
Rice cultivation is well-suited to countries and regions with low labor costs and high rainfall, as
it is labor-intensive to cultivate and requires ample water. Rice can be grown practically
anywhere, even on a steep hill or mountain. Although its parent species are native to South
Asia and certain parts of Africa, centuries of trade and exportation have made it commonplace in
many cultures worldwide.
The traditional method for cultivating rice is flooding the fields while, or after, setting the young
seedlings. This simple method requires sound planning and servicing of the water damming and
channeling, but reduces the growth of less robust weed and pest plants that have no submerged
growth state, and deters vermin. While flooding is not mandatory for the cultivation of rice, all

other methods of irrigation require higher effort in weed and pest control during growth periods
and a different approach for fertilizing the soil.
(The name wild rice is usually used for species of the grass genus Zizania, both wild and
domesticated, although the term may also be used for primitive or uncultivated varieties
ofOryza.)
Rice is unique among cereal grains in that the entire polished grain is eaten while other cereals
are usually processed before they reach the consumer. Grain quality in rice is, therefore, a very
sensitive issue. Interests and priorities of different sectors of rice industry are different. Farmers
are interested in early maturity and high yield that would give them high returns in the form of
good produce and provide enough time for sowing
subsequent crops including wheat. Miller's interest is high head rice recovery. Traders prefer
attractive physical appearance (shape and size), whiteness and uniform grain size.

For consumers, quality encompasses a complete range of visual, sensory and palatability criteria
that include impressive appearance of raw as well as cooked rice texture in terms of
stickiness/flakiness and appealing aroma.
Rice grain quality depends on intrinsic quality of rice variety (appearance, milling quality and
cooking characteristics), environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, rainfall) and
management practices such as use of healthy seed; optimum sowing time; balanced and timely
application of fertilizers; proper harvest and post-harvest operations, use of modern milling and
polishing machinery etc.

Rice is the second largest food item of the Pakistani households after wheat flour. During the last
decade, the production of rice in Pakistan has been around 5 million tons per annum. Around 2.9
million tons of rice is available for domestic consumption of Pakistan. The per capita availability
of rice in Pakistan is 20.78 kg. Pakistan has scattered population of rice eating people throughout
the country. In most of the urban and rural areas of the Punjab, people eat rice at least once a
week. In Azad Kashmir, the entire households consume rice in their daily meals. In Sindh
province, particularly Karachi, people eat rice 3-4 times a week.
Major Exporters of Rice
Thailand is the largest rice exporter with exports of over $6 billion during 2005. Pakistan comes
on the 3rd position in the international rice export market with exports of $2.4 Billion during
2004-2005.
Following are the major exporters of the rice in the world for the year 2005

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s top rice export body said it aims to export 4 million tonnes in fiscal year 2010/11, about 1 million tonnes more than previous estimates made after destructive floods in August.
Irfan Ahmed Sheikh, chairman of the Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (REAP), said total rice production would be nearly 6 million tonnes.
A senior food ministry official on Tuesday, however, low-balled REAP’s estimate and said output would be about 5 million tonnes.
“We dispute the government’s figure,” Sheikh told Reuters. “Our assessments are that the production will be nearly 6 million tonnes. We are now aiming to export about 4 million tonnes of rice this year on good global demand.”
REAP’s export target tops previous trader estimates by almost a million tonnes.
The government in September estimated losses of up to two million tonnes from the August floods. Before the floods, the food ministry expected 6.1 million tonnes for the 2010/11 crop.
The country’s eight-month-long rice season runs from April to November and final estimates of the crop size will not be available until late December.
The reason for the increased estimate, Sheikh said, is that the monsoon floods, which devastated more than 2.4 million hectares of farmland, did not affect the rice crop in the Punjab province, which produces 60 percent of the total national output.
Production losses in the second-largest rice growing province of Sindh were estimated at about 500,000 tonnes, but that would largely be offset by the better yield in Punjab, Sheikh said.
The president of the Agri-Forum Pakistan agreed with the REAP’s production estimates.

“Despite losses in Sindh, our production estimate is between 5.7 million tonnes and 6.1 million tonnes, as per-acre yield in Punjab has increased by up to 10 percent,” said Ibrahim Mughal.
Pakistan had a bumper crop of 6.7 million tonnes of milled rice in 2009/10 and exported about 4.5 million tonnes.
Pakistan retained up to 800,000 tonnes from the 2009/10 crop, traders said.
The country’s domestic consumption of milled rice is about 2.3 million tonnes.
Rice exports in July-October 2010 rose by 17.26 per cent to 1.1 million tonnes, compared with 940,838 tonnes in the same period last year, according to the Federal Bureau of Statistics.
In the July-Oct period in 2010/11, exports of basmati rice stood at 304,141 tonnes, almost the same as last year. Other varieties totaled 799,052 tonnes for the same period, compared with 636,773 tonnes.
Rice is Pakistan’s third largest crop after wheat and cotton and contributes about 1.6 percent to the country’s gross domestic product.

Procurement Department
Procurement is the first step where the business starts, procurement department contains 18
employees who purchase Paddy (rice crop) and achieve the purchase targets set by the upper
level management.
This department is responsible for purchasing the paddy of desired quality. The employees of
this department have special and expert level knowledge of paddy because it is the most sensitive
part of the business. If wrong type of paddy is purchased or undesirable quality of paddy is
purchased then it’s going to be a big mess.
Teams are built among these 18 employees and then regions and territories are allotted to them,
and each team is responsible to go to their particular area and achieve the purchase target from
that area. Keeping quality of the paddy is the first thing these employees have in their minds.
Procurement is really a tough job because when rice crop comes in the market, the duration is
only 1 month. You have to purchase within one month. Because this is a seasonal product so it
only comes once in the year. Employees have to achieve their purchase targets within one month
so they have a huge responsibility.

Since paddy has not fix rate, paddy is purchased in Ghalla Mandi (Food Market) and paddy is
purchased by auctions. So to purchase at a low cost is also responsibility of this department,
because cost is the major competitive edge.

Milling and Husking
If rice is only to be produced normally then the procedure starts from here, if it is not par-boiled,
otherwise if it is par-boiled then it will be the second stage.

7 Polishing
Aroma Rice International Traders
When selling domestically only this procedure is followed, in local market only normal rice, both
Basmati and Non-Basmati is sold. This type of rice is neither par-boiled nor it is reprocessed. It
because the domestic market doesn’t have enough demand for par-boiled and re-processed rice
that’s why company do not pay much attention here. It only sales non par-boiled and non re-
processed rice locally.
If rice is further to be exported then the following procedure which is known as re-processing is
done to make it of export quality.

Tasks performed during internship
Record Keeping of By-Products
During my internship period, record keeping of by-products was my main job, although
management rotated me in many directions. But I mostly used to record:
1. How much Broken Tip has accumulated at the end of the day
2. How much Damaged Rice has accumulated at the end of the day
3. How much Broken Rice has accumulated
4. At the end of the day a report was compiled which contained the final figures
I also updated the files continuously throughout six weeks regarding by-products.
Made Sales Report:
Every two weeks, by-products were sold locally to the local distributors:
Projected sales
Projected Revenue
Achieved Sales
Achieved Revenue
Difference in actual and projected sales
Reviewed all machines are in running condition:
It was also my duty to keep an eye on the Milling & Husking unit that all machines are
working properly; if there were any problem on any machine or any break-down then it
was my job to inform the Engineering department so the problem can be immediately
solved.
26
University of Central Punjab
Aroma Rice International Traders
File sorting;
I also used to sort out and index files in the office area. Locally sold by-products invoices
and expense invoices were sorted out in the corresponding files
Attending Calls:
Few days I also worked in front office where I answered the calls and transferred to the
concerned department.
Labor’s Inquiry:
Took the inquiry of any labor worker working on any machine within the unit to the
corresponding person.
Supervision on Loading/Unloading:
When by-products were loaded in trucks/containers, it was my job to count how much the
bags are loaded. Counting them and making a report was my job.

28
University of Central Punjab
Aroma Rice International Traders
Threats:
Threat of new entrants is really high. Many new units are being installed and competition
is becoming tougher
Threats from political scenario is very much high. As exporters are not trusting on
Pakistani parties
If river/water issue is not resolved, then there could be a shortage in crop due to lack of
water and depression may come.
29
University of Central Punjab
Aroma Rice International Traders
Recommendations:
Six weeks of internship are not enough to cover all the aspects of a business but a student can get
an idea of the business processes, its strengths and weaknesses. So after analyzing Aroma Rice
International Traders, I would like to recommend them the following:
I noticed that the structure of the organization is centralized, it’s not decentralized due to
which process is slow because every decision has to first go at upper level then there’s a
wait of approval and then the action is executed. If the power is decentralized and
authority is give to employees then the decision making can be more efficient and the
process can become quick.
All documents including domestic trade as well should be computerized and reports
should be generated on computers. This will reduce the time of reports generation and
furthermore it will reduce the chances of error. If any error happens then it can be
immediately rectified on computer while on the other hand it is very difficult to find it
and then correct it on manual books.
The duration of paddy procurement is only one month, and the procurement department
has only 18 employees working in it. Purchase targets are so high that in this one month
employees are overloaded and it is very difficult for them to achieve targets because they
also have to achieve the quality levels. If more employees are hired then it will ensure the
quality level as well as the fulfilled purchase targets within the time duration.
Since Aroma Rice International Traders is involved in business to business market, I also
recommend that Aroma Rice should also put some of their production in their own brand
and market it, If they can commercialize their own brand/product they can earn more on
the same sales.

Conclusion:
Mirza Group is one of the fastest growing groups of Pakistan. It was not an easy job for internees
to study the complete working of this organization within six weeks. I think one need a lot more
time to study. It was very difficult for me to manipulate all sort of information about Aroma Rice
International Traders because the setup is very much complex and big. This internship program
was very fascinating experience for me and during my stay at Aroma Rice International Traders,
I learned so many things. So it was the best time for me to see the application of the theoretical
frame work studied by me in the BBA classes in practical fields. In the end I think the future
prospects of the Aroma Rice International Traders are quite bright because the management’s
vision is too broad. It will grow and advance more and more with time. I also want to pay
gratitude to my supervisor because it provided me the opportunity to work in an organization like
Aroma Rice International Traders.
