Frequently Asked Procurement Questions

What is the difference between 1121 Steam, White Sella, and Golden Sella?

1121 Steam rice is treated with steam before milling, preserving its natural white appearance, rich aroma, and fast cooking time. White Sella is soaked and parboiled before milling, giving it extra grain firmness and resistance to breakage during high-heat catering. Golden Sella undergoes a specialized hydrothermal process that infuses outer husk nutrients into the grain, giving it a golden amber shade and maximum grain elongation.

What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for export container shipments?

Standard commercial wholesale supply is 1 x 20ft Full Container Load (FCL), which accommodates approximately 24 to 25 Metric Tons. Courier sample consignments (up to 1–2 kg) for cooking and elongation testing are available for qualified commercial buyers upon providing courier details.

How does FILOSHA ensure Basmati purity and compliance with European MRLs?

All Basmati shipments originate from certified partner mills in the GI-designated Basmati belt (Punjab and Haryana). Each batch undergoes accredited laboratory DNA testing to verify varietal purity (min 95%). For European Union destinations, consignments are rigorously tested in accredited laboratories to confirm compliance with EU pesticide Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs), specifically for Tricyclazole, Buprofezin, and Isoprothiolane (<0.01 mg/kg).

Can you provide private label customized retail packaging?

Yes. In addition to standard 25kg and 50kg PP/BOPP bulk bags, we support private-label contract packaging for supermarket distributors and food brands in 1kg, 2kg, 5kg, and 10kg custom-printed pouches, subject to minimum print run commitments.
