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?

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.

Is 1718 the same as 1121?

Same family, different cultivar release. 1718 is the disease-resistant successor to 1121 — same grain length (8.30 mm+), same aroma family, with better farm-level disease resistance. Pricing typically tracks 1121 at the same tier.

Why would I specify 1718 over 1121?

Supply consistency. 1718 production has lower disease-rejection rates at the milling level, meaning fewer lots fail QA and supply is more reliable lot-to-lot. Buyers running large repeat-order programs sometimes specify 1718 for risk management.

Can I blend 1121 with 1718?

Yes — many retail brands run 1121/1718 blended SKUs for supply resilience. The cultivars are visually and behaviourally close enough that a blend is indistinguishable to retail consumers.

Is 1718 a Pusa variety?

Yes — Pusa Basmati 1718 is the formal varietal name. Developed at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), Pusa, Delhi. Commercial trade refers to it simply as 1718.
