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.

Why does HoReCa prefer 1121 Steam over 1121 Raw?

Steam basmati has the aroma of Raw with the cook-stability of Sella. In volume HoReCa service where the cook can be variable, Steam holds shape better than Raw, which is more sensitive to over-cooking.

What's the difference between 1121 Steam and 1121 Sella?

Both are heat-processed but differently. Sella is parboiled (steam through the husk before milling) — golden, hardest grain, longest shelf life. Steam is milled first, then gently steamed — creamy-white, slightly softer than Sella, more aromatic. Steam is the in-between option.

Which destinations prefer 1121 Steam?

Singapore retail, Malaysia retail, UK Indian-diaspora supermarkets, premium UAE retail brands that prefer white-not-golden, and HoReCa biryani chains across the Gulf and Southeast Asia.

What is the shelf life of 1121 Steam?

16–22 months in cool, dry storage — between Raw (12–18) and Sella (18–24). The light steam processing extends shelf life modestly while preserving aroma.
