OUR PRODUCTS
Although we started with focus on agro but have remained dynamic in our approach to identify the available opportunities and hence diversified in various sectors like cattle feed, edible oil trading of agri-commodities and garment industry.
RICE
Rice is by far the most consumed crop worldwide. It is a staple for close to half the world’s population with Asia being the largest consumer. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimated World Production of 2020/21 to be around 503.17 million metric tonnes with India leading at 120,000,000 just behind China. Bhanulaxmi Group has had a stable run-in with rice production since its inception They invest heavily in research and innovative techniques of production to ensure efficient use of inputs (labour, water, growth support equipment), deal with water scarcity and climatic changes, and other socioeconomic deterrents. The group encourages resource conservation and partnership programs with farmers to reduce cultivation costs and enhance productivity per unit of area to eventually create a safe environment for all involved.
Edible Oils
The edible oils market in India includes rice bran oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, mustard oil and more is one of the most booming categories in the agricultural sector. It is projected to grow from around 21.5 billion dollars in 2019 to 35.3 billion dollars by 2025. A driving force behind these figures is rice bran oil. Rice bran oil is extracted from the outer brown layer of rice. It’s three major components—tocotrienols, gamma-oryzanol and tocopherols—are significant for human health. Besides human consumption, the oil also finds its uses in cosmetic and pharmaceuticals industry. The Bhanulaxmi group understood both the health and the market potential in rice bran oil at the onset of its popularity. Using advanced extraction technology and in-house developed techniques, the group strives to maintain the goodness of the oil, making it one of the highest demanded products in the south east Asian region.
DORB
Once the husk is removed from the paddy, the bran is revealed. After rice brand oil has been extracted from this bran, De oiled Rice bran is obtained. This forms an important component for cattle feed including for poultry, fish and pigs. It makes for an economical yet healthy ingredient in animal feed since it is low in fibre, high in energy and moderate in protein and is easy digestible by livestock. Bhanulaxmi group provides premium quality de-oiled rice bran which is extremely rich on nutritional counts. Our DORB comprises 16% protein, only 5% sand/silica, 12% moisture, and 16% fibre. 10-15% is in pellet form while the rest is in powder form. The present capacity of extraction of rice bran oil is at 900 metric tonnes per day.
Livestock Feed
In 2020 the Indian animal feed market was valued at a whopping INR 942.4 billion with an expected growth of 12.5 per cent during 2021-2026. Key segments of this market are poultry, cattle and aqua feed. But the market is also afflicted by an unorganized sector that believes in common feed modes such as pasture grasses, hay, cereal grains, or home mixes etc. These low quality forages lack protein, energy, nutrients and vitamins that are required for healthy growth of small animals and reducing mortality rate amongst the livestock. In the organized compound cattle feed sector, Bhanulaxmi group, takes care to carefully formulate its livestock products-- Mustard De-oiled Cake, Rapeseed Meal and Soybean Meal Cake—with help of nutritional additives like minerals and vitamin to improve the overall health of the livestock and maintain the quality of the various end products which may include eggs, meat or milk. We also have extensive quality checks in place to ensure that each batch of the livestock feed lives upto its promise.
