Origin is not a marketing line for us. Buyers stand at the mill through the run, pull samples before the trader does, and reject on moisture, chalk and broken percentage. Only what survives that gets a container number.

Questions buyers ask first.
What is the minimum order quantity for basmati rice export?
Khidmat basmati moves from 10 MT, roughly half a 20ft container. Sundarbans pulses and regional rice start at 5 MT, and Polar packaged water ships by the full container load. Mixed loads across brands are possible inside a single FCL where the packaging allows it.
Which Indian ports do you ship from, and what are typical lead times?
We load out of Mundra, Nhava Sheva and JNPT depending on the origin mill. Standard lead time is 15 to 21 days from confirmed order and advance to bill of lading, with milling, packing and inspection sequenced inside that window.
What documentation is provided with each shipment?
Every consignment ships with commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate and lab analysis. IEC, FSSAI and APEDA references travel with the file, and halal or health certificates are arranged where the destination requires them.
Do you supply private label and custom packaging?
Yes. Private label is available across all three brand lines, including 1kg and 5kg retail packs, vacuum bricks, and 25kg, 30kg and 50kg jute or PP bulk bags, printed to your artwork and destination labelling rules.
Which markets do you currently export to?
The Gulf, including the UAE and Saudi Arabia, plus the United Kingdom, the European Union, Singapore and wider Southeast Asia, the United States and Canada. Several territories are still open for an exclusive distribution partner.
What payment and Incoterms do you work on?
We quote FOB and CIF against irrevocable letters of credit at sight, or advance and balance against documents for repeat buyers. Terms are confirmed in the proforma invoice before any booking is made.
