Basmati Rice

India's aromatic long-grain basmati, grown in the Himalayan foothill belt. Choose your variety, then the processing style your market prefers.

Varieties

1121

Extra-long grain with strong aroma and excellent elongation on cooking. The flagship Indian basmati for export.

1509

Extra-long, slender grain with good cooked elongation. Widely traded alongside 1121.

1718

Extra-long grain, commonly offered in steam and sella forms for catering and retail.

1401

Long, slender grain with good cooked length. Offered across all processing types.

Processing types

Raw (White)

Milled straight from paddy without parboiling. Naturally white, soft and aromatic.

Steam

Paddy is steamed before milling, giving a firmer grain that stays separate when cooked.

Creamy Sella

Parboiled basmati with a light cream colour. Grains stay long, separate and resist breakage.

Golden Sella

Parboiled basmati with a deeper golden shade. Very break-resistant and popular in Middle East markets.

Every variety above is available in each processing type. Tell us the grain length, broken percentage, moisture and packing you need, and we will source to match.

Common Questions

Which details should I send for a quote?

The product and variety, size count or grade, processing type, quantity, packing, destination port and any certificates your market needs.

Can you supply every basmati variety in every processing type?

We source 1121, 1509, 1718 and 1401 in raw, steam, creamy sella and golden sella, according to what you need and market availability.

How do I choose a Kabuli chana size?

Larger chickpeas (lower counts such as 40/42 and 42/44) suit whole dishes and premium retail packs. Smaller sizes suit canning, snacks and flour. We can help you match the size to your product.

Are export rules for rice and wheat stable?

They have changed several times since 2022. We check the current policy before every quote, so you always get an accurate position.
