Origin & Traceability
Sourced from Multi-State Sourcing — India's Rice Belt
Geographic Origin
West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh supply parboiled (Sella) varieties dominant in Sub-Saharan Africa; Punjab supplies white non-parboiled; Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka supply Sona Masoori. Port diversification reflects geography: Kandla, JNPT, Mundra, Chennai, and Kolkata all handle non-Basmati rice exports. African markets (Kenya, Cameroon, Ghana) require parboiled Sella format; Southeast Asian markets typically take raw/white grades. Specify variety, broken %, and parboiling requirement on enquiry.
Harvest Cycle & Availability
When It's Harvested
Most non-Basmati varieties are a Kharif crop, harvested October–December across India's major growing states, with some southern states running a second Rabi/Boro crop under irrigation. Unlike Basmati rice, non-Basmati does not require aging — it can be milled and shipped within weeks of harvest. Year-round supply is straightforward from grain storage. Parboiled (Sella) format preferred in Africa is processed at the mill and adds no significant lead time beyond milling.
Kharif
Main monsoon crop — sown June–July, harvested October–November. Supplies the bulk of the year.
Jun–Jul
Oct–Nov
~85%
12+ months (milled dry)
Rabi/Summer
Smaller irrigated crop in select regions — available year-round from stored paddy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buyer Questions, Answered
Basmati is a GI-protected long-grain aromatic variety — higher price, specific aroma/elongation profile, primarily for premium retail and restaurant supply. Non-Basmati (IR64, Swarna, Sona Masoori, Ponni, etc.) is the volume variety — lower price, standard texture, the choice for African/Asian food-aid programs, large-scale food manufacturing, and government procurement. Kenya, Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Gulf are the dominant non-Basmati buyers. If your application is high-volume or price-sensitive, non-Basmati is the right product.
5% broken: premium — retail, food-service, whole-grain buyers. 25% broken: standard commercial grade — the dominant bulk trade specification for Africa and Southeast Asia. 100% broken: processing, brewing, and rice flour manufacturing. Parboiled (Sella) available across grades — parboiling reduces breakage, extends shelf life, and is strongly preferred in African markets (Kenya, Cameroon, Mozambique). Specify grade, form (raw/parboiled), and destination market in your enquiry.
Top buyers: Kenya (₹1,195 Cr), Vietnam (₹1,140 Cr), UAE (₹768 Cr), Cameroon (₹766 Cr), Malaysia (₹689 Cr). Sub-Saharan Africa dominates by volume — these markets primarily buy 25% broken parboiled. Compliance: phytosanitary certificate, Certificate of Origin, and fumigation certificate are standard. West Africa may require additional SGS pre-shipment inspection. Specify your destination country and we'll confirm the required documentation pack.
Parboiling (IR64 Sella) pre-gelatinises the starch, so the cooked grain is firmer, less sticky, and has a longer shelf life — critical for long sea transit to Africa. IR64 raw is cheaper but more fragile (higher breakage during milling) and shorter shelf life. For African markets and large food-service applications, parboiled is almost always the right choice. For retail and restaurant use in Asia, raw/regular is preferred.
Standard MOQ: 1×20ft FCL (~25 MT). Sample orders available for first-time buyers; cost adjusted against first bulk order. Payment: 60% advance + 40% against BL copy. Terms improve — 50/50 on second order, 40/60 on third. LC at sight for repeat buyers.
