May 21, 2025 – Dubai, UAE: Gautam General Trading, the parent company of Gautam Rice, is redefining quality standards in the rice industry through cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The UAE-based brand is leading the regional charge by adopting AI-powered SORTEX optical sorting systems, ensuring exceptional grain uniformity, safety, and purity.
As the UAE accelerates AI integration across agriculture and logistics, Gautam Rice is at the forefront of using AI in food production. The SORTEX system, driven by advanced AI algorithms, meticulously inspects each grain—identifying inconsistencies in size, shape, and color, while removing contaminants with unmatched precision. This ensures every pack delivers consistent quality, visual appeal, and consumer satisfaction.
“Our investment in AI allows us to offer rice of unmatched consistency while reducing waste and improving efficiency,” said Gautam Aggarwal, Managing Director of Gautam General Trading. “By blending heritage with innovation, we aim to set a global benchmark for premium rice quality.”
Beyond grain sorting, Gautam Rice applies data-driven forecasting to refine inventory management and procurement—further cutting down on waste and enhancing operational sustainability. These measures not only streamline business operations but also strengthen the brand’s commitment to ethical and responsible food production.
Taking its innovation further, Gautam Rice has implemented real-time supply chain tracking—offering end-to-end visibility across all stages of production and distribution. This transparency builds consumer trust by verifying product origin and safety controls.
Established in 2005, Gautam Rice has grown to become the UAE’s largest rice distributor, known especially for its long-grain Basmati rice, which nearly doubles in length after cooking. The brand’s continuous pursuit of excellence and embrace of intelligent systems firmly positions it as a pioneer in modern rice production.
