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.

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.

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.
