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.

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.

Our Export Process — Seven Stages, One Accountable Desk | Vilora Impex

Every Vilora Impex shipment follows the same seven-stage process — from the buyer's first inquiry to port-of-arrival sign-off. One accountable export desk, one signature on the documentation packet, one direct line until the buyer confirms arrival. This is what happens between PI and BL.

Quick facts

Total lead time (FCL): PI → port: 18–20 days · port → port: 7–30 days
Documentation timing: Couriered within 48 hours of sail
Live tracking: Daily position updates from steamer line
Buyer touch-point: One accountable desk, founder-signed packet
First-shipment payment: 100% advance OR L/C at sight
Repeat-shipment payment: 30% advance + 70% against BL scan

1. Inquiry & spec

The buyer sends a brief: variety, form (Sella/Steam/Raw), grade, packaging, quantity, destination port, target arrival date. Same day in our timezone we respond with an indicative FOB price, lead time and a list of any additional information needed (Halal, COO preferential vs non-preferential, payment terms). For new buyers we share our credentials packet — FSSAI, APEDA, IEC, GSTIN, founder bio — alongside the quote.

2. Sample & cuttest

Once the indicative spec aligns, a 250–500 g sortex-cleaned sample is couriered to the buyer's office with a signed cuttest sheet. The buyer cooks the sample, measures cooked grain length, validates aroma, and approves or rejects in writing. The signed cuttest becomes the locking spec on the PI.

3. Performa Invoice (PI)

The PI locks the deal: variety, form, grade, packaging, quantity, FOB/CIF price, Incoterm, port of loading, port of discharge, payment terms, lead time, documentation packet contents. Once signed, sourcing begins. Payment terms are 30%+70% against BL scan for repeat buyers, or 100% advance / irrevocable L/C at sight for new buyers.

4. Origin sourcing & grading

Aggregation begins at the relevant milling partner — Punjab/Haryana for 1121/1509, Andhra Pradesh for Sona Masuri/IR64, Kerala for black pepper, Gujarat for cumin/fennel. Each lot is hand-graded against the locked cuttest, sortex-cleaned in two passes, lab-tested, photographed, weighed and tagged with a lot ID that travels with the documentation.

5. Packing & private label

Packing happens in 5/10/25/50 kg PP, BOPP-printed laminate, jute or buyer-branded private label. For private-label SKUs, plate-making and first printed pouch sample run in parallel. Buyer approves the printed pack sample before full FCL production.

6. Documentation & stuffing

Stuffing at Mundra or Kandla under our supervision. Container sealed with numbered lock; seal number recorded on BL. Documentation packet — phytosanitary, FSSAI, APEDA, COO, BL, lab COA, sortex pass log, photographic evidence — is prepared and couriered within 48 hours of sail.

7. Sail & port-of-arrival sign-off

Live container tracking shared with the buyer (steamer line portal link). Daily position updates if requested. On arrival, buyer draws a sample, validates against original cuttest, signs off, and clears customs. We stay on the line until the buyer confirms — that's where the relationship ends, not at port-of-loading.
