Jute sacks of basmati rice, lentils and millets in an export warehouse
Priority sector 02

Rice, grains & pulses.

Milled, sorted and graded to destination specification — from long-grain basmati to millets and pulses, packed for both bulk trade and retail shelves.

Overview

What we can source for you.

Rice and pulses are our second priority sector. Orders are milled against a written grain specification — length, moisture, broken percentage, sortex level and admixture — and cross-checked before loading.

Basmati is sourced from the Punjab and Haryana belts and can be supplied raw, steamed, sella or golden sella. Non-basmati covers sona masoori, IR64 and parboiled grades where export policy permits at the time of order.

Pulses and millets are cleaned, destoned and colour-sorted to the level your market expects, and can be packed in bulk for repackers or in retail units under your own label.
