Our Purpose
Keerthi Nirmal has always given paramount importance to the quality of our products. This approach has ensured sustained demand for our products. Being a producer of rice, which forms the staple diet of a good majority of people in South India, our efforts are directed towards ensuring the quality and hygienic packaging of our products. We also optimise our varieties to suit the demand and introduce rice varieties like long rice, Basmati rice etc., to satisfy the different taste palettes. We strive to improve and nurture the quality of life of our customers through our products.
Keerthi Nirmal, quality rice.
Producing good quality rice depends on a lot of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. At Keerthi Nirmal, we use specific criteria to restrict the quality and grades of rice. The factors that count into making good rice are the variety, the environment it grows in, the seed quality, the size and uniformity of grain, stickiness, flavour, aroma etc.
To produce the best in class rice and allied products, we are equipped with the most modern and technologically advanced machines. The machines ensure that the production line is continually moving smoothly. The paddy is processed with very little or no bruising to the kernel, and the products remain fresh and healthy in the course of their refinement. Quality checks, sample testing at each point and diligent operators ensure that the best quality products emerge at the end of the line.
