From a family mill in Ghakhar to an international exporter trusted across four continents — this is the Sardar Rice Mills story.
Sardar Rice Mills was founded in 1999 by three brothers — Saadat, Shujaat and Shazab Cheema — in Ghakhar, Gujranwala, Punjab. From its founding, the company was built around a simple conviction: that the finest rice in the world grows within reach of our mill, and that a family's name on a product is the strongest possible guarantee of quality.
Ghakhar sits within the Kalar Tract — the specific soil and climate region of Punjab that produces Pakistan's true export-grade Basmati rice. Our location gives us direct access to the paddy fields that supply the world's premium Basmati market, allowing us to procure varieties at source with full traceability and no adulteration.
Over 25 years, Sardar Rice Mills has grown from a local operation into a business that serves international buyers across the Middle East, Europe, North America and Africa — while maintaining the family structure, personal accountability and commitment to quality that defined us from day one.
Key milestones in the Sardar Rice Mills story.
The principles that have guided every decision at Sardar Rice Mills since 1999.
Every grain is a reflection of the Cheema family name. From paddy field selection to final packaging, our quality standards are non-negotiable at every stage of the process.
International buyers deal directly with our founding directors — no intermediaries, no agents. Every commitment we make is personal. That transparency is the foundation of every long-term relationship we hold.
We are stewards of Punjab's agricultural heritage. Our work supports farming communities in the Kalar Tract, preserves authentic Basmati varieties and honours the land that gives us everything we produce.
