Bihar is one of India's largest paddy-growing states, and its rice mills handle heavy government custom-milling volumes each season through a cooperative-led procurement system. Tracking allotment, milling, and delivery under that system is where generic accounting software struggles. Millingo is a rice-mill ERP built around how mills actually run, including Bihar's CMR cycle.
How paddy procurement works in Bihar
In Bihar, paddy procurement is largely run through PACS (Primary Agricultural Cooperative Societies) operating Paddy Purchase Centres, coordinated via the state cooperative portal, esahkari.bihar.gov.in, with the State Food Corporation (SFC) and FCI in the supply chain. Rice mills register on the portal; custom millers accept paddy against portal-issued notes (T.P.-cum-A.C. Notes) and are responsible for the quality of the Custom Milled Rice they deliver back to the pool. New to CMR? Start with our CMR process guide.
What Bihar millers need from software
- PACS/SFC CMR compliance — track allotment against portal notes, delivery schedule, out-turn obligation, and reconciliation.
- Milling recovery — measure real recovery against the assumed out-turn (see the recovery guide).
- By-product accounting — bran, husk, and broken as separate revenue (see by-products).
- Quality grading & moisture deductions at the gate.
- Hindi-friendly screens and GST billing for open-market sales.
