        Common questions

        Rice sourcing FAQ

        What rice grades and varieties can you quote?

        We can source all major Basmati varieties (1121, 1121 Sella/Steam, Super Basmati, PK-386) and non-Basmati (IRRI-6, IRRI-9, 386, 448, 1509, Calrose, 9000, 9001). If you have a specific spec, share it and we'll match it.

        What is the minimum order quantity?

        Typical minimum is 1 × 20ft container (~24–25 MT). For certain varieties we can arrange smaller trial orders of 1–5 MT. Container sizes: 20ft (24–25 MT), 40ft (48–50 MT).

        Can you arrange samples before we place an order?

        Yes. We can arrange representative samples (typically 500g–1kg per variety) shipped via courier. Courier costs are usually borne by the buyer; sample rice may be provided free or at nominal cost.

        What certifications are available?

        Phytosanitary certificate (Department of Plant Protection), fumigation certificate, Certificate of Origin (TDAP or Chamber of Commerce), Halal certificate on request, and third-party inspection (SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas).

        What are the typical lead times?

        In-season stock (Oct–Feb): 2–4 weeks from order confirmation to loading. Off-season or custom-processed: 4–8 weeks. We communicate realistic timelines upfront.

        Can you do custom retail packaging?

        Yes — consumer packs (1kg, 2kg, 5kg, 10kg), bulk bags (25kg, 50kg), and custom-artwork poly-prop or BOPP bags. Artwork proofing included. MOQ for custom packaging typically 1 container.
