Holiday picks →Paddy rice→Clean, stone-free milled rice in branded bags
Ghana grows a lot of rice and buys a lot more from abroad. Local rice sells when it is clean, unbroken and free of stones. A small mill cleans and mills; drying, parboiling and colour sorting come as it grows.
Bigger, smaller or a different product? Describe it and we plan the line.
What happens from paddy rice to clean, and the machine for each step. Steps marked “add later” can be done by hand while you start.
Soaks and steams paddy before drying, for firmer grains that break less in the mill.
Rice parboiling equipmentDries paddy evenly. Paddy that is too wet or too dry breaks in the mill.
Grain dryersTakes out stones, sand and straw, which put buyers off local rice.
Rice destoners and gradersTakes the husk off and polishes the rice.
Rice thresher & millTakes out discoloured and broken grains, so a bag looks as good as an imported one.
Optical colour sorters for rice, beans and nutsWeigh and stitch into branded bags. Sold by hand at first.

Each machine can be its own order, with its own deposit and instalments. Start with the step that earns, and order the next one from what it brings in.

Parts that wear out are best ordered with the machine, so it never stands still waiting for them.
Tick what you already have in place. What is left shows what to sort out before you order.
Agree supply with farmers, aggregators or collectors before you buy machines. A plant waiting for raw material earns nothing.
Talk to traders, shops, schools and exporters, and take them samples. Selling is harder than making.
Machines need a solid floor, a roof, drainage, and room for raw stock and finished goods.
Ask ECG what your site has or can get. We quote machines with a diesel engine or the motor that matches your power.
Food plants wash a lot. A storage tank or borehole keeps you working when the supply stops.
Start with the machine that earns first. With Landed you pay a deposit, then the rest in any amounts while it ships, with no interest.
Register the business with the Office of the Registrar of Companies and get your district assembly’s business permit. Packed food, drinks and cosmetics need FDA Ghana registration.
