There a lot of trading firms which involve in trading business related to food grain items such as spicey items, rice, dal, chickpeas, salt, wheat, sugar, milk powder, etc. generally the food grain trading firm imported procures goods from different foreign and local sources based on its price benefit consideration.  The firm procures goods from the local market through cash or credit basis but whenever it procured goods from the foreign market through issuing L/C from its concerned banks. 

After receiving goods from delivery shipment, the firm stores its goods to the warehouse which may be rented or owned but a large number of trading firms use rented warehouses. Sometimes it sells its goods from the port area or before goods reached port or goods in transit moment.

Sales revenue of the trading firm generated from different types of sales methods like wholesales, sales through distributor or agents, retails, and online selling. But maximum sales revenue generates from wholesales procedures.  Sales may occur through cash and credit basis but maximum times sales occur through 50% cash and 50% credit sometime it will be paid after selling goods.  By the above way, a food grain-related trading firm generates its business operation to generates revenue from the market. Sometimes they are a success they fell in losses due to failure of due recovery from the market.

Business model of Rice Mills



Rice is our main food as a Bangladeshi because we take rice a minimum of twice a day. Rice is made from paddy which crushing by rice mills.  There different types of rice mills available in Bangladesh such as auto rice mills, semi-auto, and manual rice mills.

 Rice mills are established based on the availability of raw materials or paddy. Basically where industrialization is low but agricultural land is high especially rural and urban areas support us by cultivating paddy and agriculture goods.

The Concern authority of rice mills collects or procures raw materials by sourcing different local and domestic agents that are made based on its locality.  Sometimes they collect from the raw sources of materials that means from farmers. Due to syndicate sometimes it is not possible to follow the direct procurement method.

 After collecting or procuring the materials then drying the paddy if possible but it’s rare to do for the mill's owner. They crush the paddy based on auto, semi-auto mills, and make in bags using their brand logo and trademark.  Then the Firm or Mills owners sell the good as per buyer requirement through wholesales, distributor sales, and online sales process. But a large amount of sales process is occurred by the wholesales method. The mills' owners have to provide credit facilities to their regular wholesalers' customers which maybe 30 days to 45 days tenor, that’s why it’s required more working capital to run daily business operations.
