Akash Rice & General Mills

Akash Rice & General Mills is located in Vill-Kaddon, right along the busy G.T. Road in Doraha. A lot of people know us as the place behind the McDonald's restaurant. It is a bit of a strange landmark for a rice mill, but it helps people find us. We do more than just rice here, hence the general mills part of our name. We handle various grains depending on what the local farmers are growing. Being on the G.T. Road is great for transport, but the noise from the highway never stops. We have a large yard where the trucks park. The mill itself is quite an old structure with high ceilings and old wooden beams in some parts. We have updated some of the equipment over the years, but a lot of it is still the same gear we started with. It is a dusty, noisy place to work, but we are used to it. The staff mostly comes from Kaddon or the nearby villages. We usually start very early in the morning before the sun gets too hot. By midday, the place is humming with the sound of the rollers and the separators. We do not have a fancy website or a marketing team. We just deal with the farmers and the traders who come to our gate. It is honest work and it keeps us busy throughout the year.
