Acu Rice Industries Private Limited

If you drive down Sinodha Road toward Neora, you’ll see our gates eventually. We operate Acu Rice Industries out of the Amit Chawal Udyog facility. It’s a big, dusty place, especially during the peak rice season when the trucks are lining up. Tilda is a hub for this kind of work, so we fit right in with the other mills around here. We deal with a lot of farmers from the surrounding villages. Most of our day is spent watching the husking machines or talking to the truck drivers who bring in the loads. It’s noisy and there is always a layer of fine grain dust on everything, but that’s just how a rice mill is. We don't have a slick website or a fancy logo on our shirts. We just have the name on the front of the building and the bags we fill every day. The office is just a small room with a wooden desk and a couple of old chairs where we keep the records. We’ve been in this area for a while now and know the roads well. Sometimes the machinery breaks down and we have to spend all night fixing a belt or a motor with grease all over our hands. It’s not glamorous work at all. We eat our lunch together in the shade of the big warehouse when we get a break. It’s a decent life in Neora, keeping the rice moving.
