Product overview
About our 1121 basmati rice.
1121 Basmati is the benchmark extra-long-grain variety for international trade, valued for grain elongation on cooking, clean aroma and non-sticky texture. We supply Steam, Sella (parboiled) and Golden Sella grades so buyers can match colour, cooking behaviour and price point to their channel.
Rice is milled, polished and sortex-cleaned before packing. Programmes run from 5 kg retail bags through 50 kg sacks and bulk, including private-label bags produced to buyer artwork.
