Morarka Organic

This is a staple food of farmers and the type of cereals consumed varies from region to region. With our presence in almost all agro climatic zones in India, we have the following cereal crops on offer:-


	Barley

	Mostly known for malt making, this is a winter crop cultivated in northern India. With decreasing water tables of ground water, more and more farmers are partially converting their wheat crop areas under Barley. In India Morarka sales small quantities of Barley as grain and porridge, and is also blended in many other Bread Flours. For Future we can substantially expand the production and can also offer very large quantities during season ie in Aril-May.


	Corn (Maize)

	A very widely consumed crop both at farm level as well as in institutional markets, mostly for animal & poultry feed. In domestic urban markets, this product is consumed in very small quantities, that too on special occasions and mostly during winter months in northern India. This is a rainy season crop and very large quantities can be produced for supplies in October-November.


	Millets (Bajra, Jowar & Ragi)

	These three Millets are cultivated in three different regions in India and are staple foods for the people residing in those areas. As on today, despite very large production base, not much is being procured and offered, as in domestic urban markets, there is very little seasonal consumption in the preparation of ethnic foods. However, due to very high nutrients contents in them and reasonable prices, they are considered to be an ideal raw material for animal feeds by the farming community also.At Morarka Organic a major promotional campaign is under way to promote the value addition and consumption of these crops.

Rice

An important crop in terms of being a staple food for a large population not only in India, but also around the world. There are hundreds of varieties which are commercially produced. The rice varieties are generally divided into two broad categories namely Aromatic -Basmati & Non-Aromatic.. Further classification can be done on the basis of level of processing. At Morarka Organic, a wide portfolio of rice is offered both out of our own projects as well as sourced from other organic project areas managed by our associates. In Aromatic Basmati three qualities currently being cultivated by farmers are:


	•	Rice Basmati Tarawadi- A traditional GI variety from Haryana, can be considered to be the finest long grain aromatic rice.

	•	Rice Basmati Pusa1121- A new hybrid variety of very high quality and is the most preferred and widely accepted aromatic rice.

	•	Rice Basmati Superfine- A normal aromatic long grain variety sold in real large quantities due to price competitiveness and largely consumed in institutional markets as well as for daily consumption.

In the other category also, many choices are offered by Morarka Organic for both domestic as well as international markets:

	•	Rice Sharbati

	•	Rice Sela

	•	Rice Red from Kathiwada & South India

	•	Rice Sona Massori

Presently Morarka Organic has enrolled farmers for all variants of Rice. The processing is done through contracted certified processing units. Year-round stocks are maintained for supply in both bulk as well as consumer packs.

Wheat

This is not only the most important cereal crop in India, but also the world. As of today wheat varieties are broadly divided into three categories:

•		Wheat Haryana- It is a hybrid variety which is mass produced in north India, and is cultivated under very high inputs consumption areas, mostly sold under the government system.

•		Wheat Chittor- This is hard wheat, like Durrum, more suitable for bakery products.

•		Wheat Shekhawati- The third variety is Deshi Wheat, the most popular and high quality wheat for everyday use in Indian homes.

In about thirty project areas, Morarka Organic has over 10,000 Metric Tons of annual production capacities, harvested during April- May.


	Buckwheat

	While many people think that buckwheat is a cereal grain, it is actually a fruit seed that is related to rhubarb and sorrel. Its name is supposedly derived from the Dutch word bockweit, which means "beech wheat," reflecting buckwheat's beechnut-like shape and its wheat-like characteristics. While buckwheat is of similar size to wheat kernels, it features a unique triangular shape. In order to be edible, the outer hull must be removed, a process that requires special milling equipment due to its unusual shape.
