The Best Quality Rice
A Legacy Cultivated Over Generations, Connecting India to the World Through Rice
For over three generations, we’ve been a cornerstone of the Indian rice industry, a testament to our unwavering dedication to quality, innovation, and the rich traditions of rice cultivation. Founded in 1948 in the vibrant trading hub of Naya Bazaar, Delhi, our journey began with a simple vision: to bring the finest rice from India’s fertile lands to tables around the world. What started as a modest family business has grown into a modern, globally-recognized enterprise, yet our core values remain unchanged.
We meticulously source premium basmati and non-basmati rice from trusted Rice Mills across India, ensuring that only the highest-quality grains make their way to our state-of-the-art processing facility in Delhi. This facility is the heart of our operation, where we combine time-honored techniques with cutting-edge technology to clean, sort, and package our rice to exacting standards.
Our commitment to quality extends throughout our brand portfolio. These brands are widely available throughout India, both in traditional retail outlets and on leading e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Jio Mart, Blinkit and City Mall , making it easier than ever for consumers to enjoy the taste of expertly processed rice. As a proud Two Star export house, we extend our commitment to excellence beyond India’s borders, sharing the unique flavors and aromas of Indian rice with discerning customers around the globe.
We’re more than just a rice company; we’re custodians of a culinary heritage, dedicated to nourishing lives and connecting cultures through the universal language of food.
In 1948, Late Shri Ramji Dass Mongia started rice trading at Lahori Gate, Khari Baoli, Old Delhi, India. An expert in identifying the best quality rice along with an uncanny ability to sell, he expanded his business and reached par with the eminent Basmati rice suppliers in India, during his era.
Late Shri Ramji Dass Mongia passed on his genius to his son Mr. Rajinder Mongia, who accentuated his father’s vision of high-quality rice trading by establishing Sona Cereal Products Pvt. Ltd. and setting up a top-notch rice mill with the state-of-the-art facility at G T Karnal Road, New Delhi.
Mr. Rahul Mongia -(Director), Son of Mr. Rajinder Mongia, followed his father’s footsteps and persevered in the vision laid down by his grandfather of high-quality rice trading by obtaining a majority in the domestic market by supplying to more than seventy distributors all over India.
Amit Goel (Export Head) with his international marketing experience, made the company’s products available internationally to Qatar, Dubai, Kuwait, Saudi, Algeria, Belarus, Germany & Sri Lanka.
