How to Start Rice Business

http://www.startupbizhub.com/how-to-start-rice-business.htm
Rice is the staple food of several Asian countries. Suffice to say rice business is very
common in these countries.
But this doesn't mean that western or any other countries are not up with this kind of business. In this
article you can have an overview of how to start rice business.
Of course, in any kind of business feasibility study or the planning stage is always the first step to
take. Ask yourself what kind of rice business you want: rice farming business, rice dealership
business, rice mill business, and wholesale or retail rice selling business.
With rice farming business, obviously you will need a large parcel of land. You will need excellent
irrigation system, the best seeds, the best fertilizers, the most effective pesticides, harvester, seeders
and tractors for plowing the land. These are just the basic necessities of this kind of rice business for
you to be able to start and eventually and hopefully sell after the harvest season.
Rice mill business is also a good rice business. You will need a huge barn or storage area for the
produce that will be milled and that has been milled. You will also need to invest for a rice milling
machine. Proper maintenance of the rice milling machine is very important in this kind of business. It
is better to purchase a new one rather than a refurbished one. Refurbished rice milling machine may
be cheaper but in the long run it will be more costly for you due to the high cost of maintenance and
probably for the repair of the machine. You will also need to hire an operator of your rice milling
machine.
With rice dealership business and with any kind of business for that matter, you need to apply for a
business license. You need to look for a big storage room for the sacks of rice that will be delivered to
you. You will also need to scout for a good location for your rice dealership business. You also have to
implement FIFO (first in first out policy). You need to have several varieties of rice, so that your
customers will have several options. Get a comprehensive non-life insurance policy for your business;
make sure that you include the clause regarding Acts of God in your insurance policy. Better be
insured than be sorry.
The guidelines regarding rice dealership business may also apply with the retail and wholesale
business. An additional guideline for this business is to ask for referrals from companies and friends.
And be prepared to loose. If there are there peak season in any business of course there will also be
lean season. So you have to prepare yourself for this scenario. Make alternative plans prior to the
lean season month/s. Offer discounts and other marketing strategies during this season.
