Non-Basmati Rice
IR64, Sona Masoori, Swarna, Ponni — raw and parboiled
Long, medium and short-grain non-basmati rice in the grades the volume trade runs on: IR64 raw and parboiled at 5% and 25% broken, Sona Masoori, Swarna, Ponni, and 100% broken for the food-processing trade. Every grade is defined by measurable parameters — broken, moisture, chalk, damage — and every one of them is checked at the load port.

Classification
Broken count, moisture, chalk and damage are measured on the sample drawn at stuffing and reported on the certificate, so the container matches the grade you bought. Export terms on non-basmati rice are set by policy; we confirm the prevailing position in writing with every quotation so the price you receive is one that can be shipped.
The values above are the parameters we quote against and have verified at the load port. Where your own requirement is tighter, yours governs and we quote to it.
