Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central for the Rice Industry in India

The Indian rice industry is one of the largest agro-processing sectors globally, contributing significantly to domestic consumption, government procurement, and international exports. India is the world’s leading rice exporter, and rice mills across Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal operate under intense margin pressure, seasonal procurement cycles, fluctuating paddy prices, strict quality standards, and GST compliance requirements.
