Shreedev Rice Mill Works

Our mill is located in Village Kharoli, which is part of the Chikhli Tehsil in Navsari district. We are right opposite the Nsp Mill, so we are easy to spot once you get into the village area. It’s a rural setting, very different from the big cities. The work here is all about the rice. We spend our days processing the grain that comes in from the local farmers. It’s a dusty job, and the machinery is quite loud when it’s running. We’ve been at this location for a good while now. The building is more of a functional shed than an office. We have a small space where we keep our records and talk to the people who bring in their harvest. Life in Kharoli is quiet until the harvest season starts, then the mill runs almost non-stop. We don’t have a website or any fancy marketing. Most people just know us because we’ve been here in the district for so long. The weather affects us a lot, especially the monsoons. We have to make sure everything stays dry. It’s a lot of physical work, moving bags and checking the quality of the milling. It’s just us and a few workers from the village keeping things going. We don’t try to be anything we aren't. It’s just a rice mill doing its job day in and day out. We take the raw paddy, clean it up, and get it ready for people to eat. That is pretty much the whole story of what happens here.
