Quality food at an affordable price”… This was the thought that inspired Thomas Mathew Moonukandathil, a Rice Trader with decades of experience in procuring and supplying paddy, to establish 'St.Mary's Paddy Processing' in the year 1987. As a unit that supplied quality rice grains at reasonable rates, St. Mary's Paddy Processing grew steadily, with the demand for their products increasing by the day. In 1995, in order to cater to the rising demand, Thomas Mathew started JMJ Modern Rice Mills, the products of which were branded “Rani”. Again, in the year 1998, St. Mary's Paddy Processing was converted to a fully mechanized unit, which increased the production 150 tones a day.
