How long is the lead time from order confirmation to shipment?

After spec sign-off and sample approval, typical lead time is 10–14 days to container stuffing at port, plus the steamer lay-time. Documentation (phyto, FSSAI, COO, BL) is couriered within 48 hours of sail. Live arrival tracking is shared with the buyer until sign-off at port of arrival.

Can you offer private label or buyer-branded packaging?

Yes. We offer private-label and contract-manufacturing packaging in 5 kg, 10 kg, 25 kg and 50 kg sizes, including BOPP printed bags, woven PP, jute, and retail cartons. Artwork can be supplied by the buyer or co-developed with our packaging desk.

Each credential (IEC on DGFT, FSSAI on FoSCoS, APEDA, GSTIN) can be verified directly on the relevant Government of India registry — links are provided on our provenance page. Request the actual numbers via the inquiry desk; we share them on signed buyer request, not publicly, to prevent misuse.

Do you ship spice and dry fruit alongside rice?

Yes. Alongside rice we export Indian spices (chilli, turmeric, cumin, coriander, fennel, cardamom, garam masala blends), dry fruit and nuts (cashew W180–W400, almond, raisin, fig), pulses (toor, chana, moong), and seasonal fresh produce (Kesar, Alphonso and Banganapalli mangoes) on cold-chain.

Vilora Impex is headquartered in Rajkot, Gujarat, India. Origin sourcing covers Gujarat, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kashmir and Rajasthan, with consolidation at Mundra Port and Kandla Port for export.

What makes Golden Sella different from regular Sella?

Both are parboiled, but Golden Sella uses a deeper, longer parboil process — more steam, deeper penetration into the grain endosperm. Result: deeper golden colour, harder grain, longer shelf life, higher cook-stability. Premium of 8–15% per MT over standard Sella applies.

Is Golden Sella the Saudi premium spec?

Yes. Saudi retail consumers strongly prefer deep-golden parboiled basmati. The deeper the colour, the higher the perceived premium. SFDA-registered 5 kg and 10 kg BOPP packs in deep-golden 1121 dominate Saudi supermarket shelves.

What is the shelf life of Golden Sella?

24+ months in cool, dry, sealed storage. The deepest parboil produces the most stable grain — Golden Sella is the longest-shelf-life form of basmati available.

Does Golden Sella affect cooking behaviour?

Yes — Golden Sella requires 25–28 minutes cook time at a 1:2.0 water ratio for proper bloom. Slower cook than Steam or Raw, but the cooked grain is the firmest and holds shape best through long preparations.
