Frequently Asked Procurement Questions
Key commercial information for international importers, category buyers, and supply managers.
What is the difference between Long Grain White Rice (5% vs 25% broken) and Parboiled Rice?
Long Grain White Rice is raw milled rice graded by broken grain percentage (5% broken is premium table grade; 25% broken is an economical standard for consumer food programs). Parboiled rice undergoes a hydrothermal pre-treatment (soaking, steaming, drying) while in the husk before milling, driving micronutrients into the starchy kernel and gelatinizing the grain for firmer texture, higher cooking yield, and exceptional resistance to overcooking.
What quality inspection agencies verify non-basmati rice consignments before loading?
Independent third-party inspection agencies such as SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Cotecna can be contracted at the load port to sample, inspect, and certify moisture content, average grain length (AGL), broken percentage, foreign matter, and container cleanliness prior to sealing.
What packaging configurations are available for containerized and breakbulk shipments?
We arrange export packaging in 25kg and 50kg white or printed poly-woven (PP) bags, with optional BOPP photographic branding for retail distribution. Consignments can also be supplied in 1 Metric Ton heavy-duty jumbo bags for industrial processors, or loaded breakbulk into chartered vessel holds.
What are the typical commercial order volumes (MOQ) and shipment terms for non-basmati rice?
Standard containerized export MOQ is 1 x 20ft FCL (accommodating approximately 25 to 27 Metric Tons depending on shipping line axle-load limits). Breakbulk shipments typically range from 2,500 MT to 25,000 MT charter vessels. Quotations are structured on FOB, CFR, or CIF Incoterms 2020.
