It was more than three decades ago. the Chirackal family presented the idea of packaged rice in Kerala. The modern Chirackal rice mill started in 1991. The unit started to manufacture rice and the brand was called "PERIYAR", going after the great Periyar river in the company's banks.The second unit of Chirackal Agro Mills was started in 1998. Machines for this unit were imported from Japan and it could completely eliminate unwanted black rice. The mill was the first unit of its kind to erect a 120-channel sortex machine for "Palakkadan Matta Rice" in India.
The products of PERIYAR RICE had a great acceptance among the general public, mainly due to the superior quality. This was achieved thanks to the strict quality control measures that were introduced in the units from the beginning. PERIYAR is now a well-known name in India and in many Middle Eastern countries. The company has expanded its activities today to the fields of instant mixes and pickles. The immediate acceptance of the PERIYAR brands has given the promoters the opportunity to have more dreams for the future.
