What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for rice export from India?

Our standard MOQ is one 20ft FCL container (approximately 25 metric tonnes of rice, or 18–22 MT for dry fruit). We also accept LCL consolidated shipments on a case-by-case basis for new buyers and sample-trial orders.

Which Indian rice varieties does Vilora Impex export?

We export the full premium long-grain range — 1121 Basmati (Sella, Steam, Raw), 1509 Basmati, Sona Masuri, IR64 (parboiled and raw), and Idli rice. All lots are sortex-cleaned to buyer-specified grading (5%–25% broken), bagged in 5 / 10 / 25 / 50 kg PP, BOPP, jute or private-label packaging.

Which ports does Vilora Impex ship from?

We stuff and ship containers from Mundra Port and Kandla Port in Gujarat, with onward routing to 12+ destination ports across the Gulf (Jebel Ali, Dammam, Doha, Salalah, Sohar), the Levant (Aqaba, Beirut), East Africa (Mombasa, Dar es Salaam), the Maldives (Malé), and Southeast Asia (Singapore, Port Klang).

What payment terms do you offer?

Standard terms are 30% advance and 70% against the scan copy of the Bill of Lading, or an irrevocable Letter of Credit at sight from a reputed bank. We also accept TT / wire transfer in USD, AED and EUR. Incoterms supported: FOB Mundra/Kandla, CIF, and CFR.

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.

How can a buyer verify Vilora Impex's credentials?

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.

Where is Vilora Impex based?

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's the difference between Sella, Creamy Sella and Golden Sella?

All are parboiled. Light parboil yields creamy-white tone (Creamy Sella). Standard parboil yields a light-golden tone (Sella). Deep parboil yields deep-golden (Golden Sella). The deeper the parboil, the harder the grain and the longer the shelf life — but also stronger colour, which some markets resist.

Is 1121 Sella among the most-imported rice in Saudi Arabia?

Yes. Saudi consumers strongly prefer parboiled 1121 over Steam or Raw. SKUs registered with SFDA in 5 kg and 10 kg BOPP retail packs move the highest volume.

What is the shelf life of 1121 Sella?

18–24 months in cool, dry storage. The parboiling process slows aroma degradation, making Sella the longest-shelf-life form of basmati.

Can 1121 Sella ship to EU and US markets?

Yes — under EU 2073/2005 microbial compliance and US FDA FSMA. We engage NABL-accredited lab partners for pesticide-residue MRL and microbial spec testing on EU/US-bound lots.
