Rice
Rice Supply Programs
Long grain rice photographed close, the individual grains clearly visible
Basmati, long grain and round grain rice for retail, foodservice and private-label programs, from India, Pakistan and Vietnam.
Variety, milling, residue specification and pack format are agreed before the first shipment, because on rice those four decisions set both the price and whether the cargo clears the destination market.
Reference product
1121 sella basmati, extra long grain
The reference line for the program. It is the longest grain in the range and the one buyers benchmark against, so its full specification is published below. Every other variety follows its own sheet, confirmed for the selected program.

Quality & compliance
Quality documentation is confirmed for the selected program and destination market. Batch-specific analysis, applicable certificates and export documentation are provided to qualified buyers.
Multi-residue screening, aflatoxin and ochratoxin results are issued per lot against the residue specification agreed for the program.
Figures are target parameters for the reference line and are confirmed on the program specification before order.
Basmati
Basmati, India
Long and extra-long aromatic grain. Sella varieties are parboiled before milling, which firms the grain and carries the colour from pale gold to honey.
Sugandha, white sella
Length to breadth 3.7
Pre-cooked length 7.5 mm and elongation 1.8, aroma present. The value line against 1121.
Basmati 1509, sella
Long grain, parboiled
Off-white to pale honey grain. Screened by LC-MS/MS against the agreed residue specification.

Bright white polished grain with no parboiled tint, for programs that want the raw white presentation.
Origin India. Each variety is confirmed against a current producing-site specification for the program.
Long grain
Long grain and jasmine
Non-aromatic and lightly aromatic long grain, the volume lines for catering, food aid and retail staples.
IR64 parboiled white, 5% broken
Grain 6.0 to 6.2 mm

Round and medium
Round and medium grain
Short and medium grain for risotto, sushi, rice pudding and Middle Eastern cooking, where the grain is meant to hold moisture rather than stay separate.
Japonica
Short round grain
Plump, near-spherical pearly grain that turns sticky on cooking, for sushi and rice bowls.
Calrose
Medium grain
Oval medium grain, softer and more cohesive than long grain without going fully sticky.
Camolino
Short grain, oiled
Short rounded grain with a light oil polish on the surface, the traditional Middle Eastern presentation.
Specification and origin for these lines are confirmed per program before order.
Residue specification
Codex or EU residue specification, steamed or parboiled
Two decisions are taken before milling, and both change the price. They are set per program rather than offered as one fixed grade.
Agreed before milling2 products
| Decision | Options | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| Residue specification | Codex 0.05% or EU 0.01% | Which destination markets the cargo can enter. The tighter EU specification requires a narrower grower pool |
| Processing route | Steamed or parboiled | Grain firmness, colour and cooking behaviour. Parboiled holds its shape in catering service |
The residue specification is confirmed in writing on the program sheet before production, because it cannot be corrected after milling.

Loading capacity
Rice ships in a 20 ft container, not a 40 ft
A 20 ft container takes 23 tonnes of rice and reaches its WEIGHT limit before the box is full. A 40 ft would run out of permitted weight with the container part empty, so it is not used on this product - which is the opposite of how a frozen reefer loads.
| Pack format | Bags per 20 ft container | Net weight per container |
|---|---|---|
| Retail bag 1 kg (2.2 lb) | 23,000 bags | 23 MT (50,700 lb) |
| Retail bag 5 kg (11 lb) | 4,600 bags | 23 MT (50,700 lb) |
| Retail bag 10 kg (22 lb) | 2,300 bags | 23 MT (50,700 lb) |
| Bulk sack 25 kg (55 lb) | 920 sacks | 23 MT (50,700 lb) |
| Bulk sack 50 kg (110 lb) | 460 sacks | 23 MT (50,700 lb) |
Counts are 23 tonnes divided by the net pack weight. Palletised loads carry fewer bags than a floor-loaded container because the pallets themselves take weight and space; the configuration is confirmed before booking.
