State-of-the-Art Makhana Factory in Bihar: Modernizing the Global Supply Chain

The landscape of makhana processing has undergone a radical shift. As of 2026, the era of small-scale, manual roasting is being replaced by sophisticated industrial units. At PLS Agro Foods, our Makhana factory in Bihar stands as a beacon of this modernization. Located in the high-yield Katihar-Purnea belt, our facility is engineered to transform raw gorgon nut seeds into premium "White Gold" using technology that meets international food safety standards.

Inside Our Advanced Processing Unit

Operating a modern Makhana factory in Bihar requires more than just machinery; it requires a deep understanding of the seed's physiology. Our facility utilizes a multi-stage automated system designed to maintain the nutritional integrity of every kernel:

1. Cleaning & Pre-Grading: Raw seeds are passed through high-frequency vibratory screens to remove stones, dust, and underweight seeds, ensuring only the densest kernels reach the roasters.

2. Controlled Popping Technology: Unlike traditional open-flame roasting, our factory uses temperature-controlled popping machines. This reduces "black spots" and ensures a uniform expansion, resulting in higher percentages of 7+ Suta (Jumbo) and 6 Suta (Premium) grades.

3. Moisture Balancing & Roasting: Post-popping, the makhana is roasted to achieve a crispness level of less than 5% moisture. This stage is critical for extending shelf life for our international export partners in the USA and Europe.

4. Hygienic Grading & Polishing: Our mechanical sorters categorize the flakes by size with 99% accuracy. A final polishing stage removes any residual seed coat, giving the makhana its signature pearly white appearance.

Why Our Katihar Factory is Your Strategic Partner

The 2025 establishment of the National Makhana Board has set new benchmarks for the industry. Our factory is fully compliant with these new standards, holding FSSAI, APEDA, and HACCP certifications. By centralizing our operations in Katihar, we reduce the "farm-to-factory" time to under 12 hours during the harvest season. This immediate processing locks in the natural antioxidants and minerals that make Bihar makhana a global superfood.
