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.

What is Sona Masuri rice?

Sona Masuri is India's premium medium-grain non-basmati rice — grain length 5.0–5.5 mm, low starch, low glycemic index. Particularly preferred by South-Asia diaspora, Gulf middle class, and health-conscious retail consumers.

How does Sona Masuri differ from basmati?

Basmati is long-grain (1121 at 8.30 mm+), aromatic, premium-priced. Sona Masuri is medium-grain (5.0–5.5 mm), low-starch, less aromatic — a different culinary use case (everyday meals vs. occasion-cooking) at a different price point.

Do you supply HMT-variant Sona Masuri?

Yes — on contract. HMT (Hyderabadi) Sona Masuri is a premium sub-variety with finer grain and improved aroma, sourced direct from Hyderabad-area milling partners.

Can Sona Masuri be supplied under private label?

Yes. Private-label retail packs in 5/10/25 kg PP or BOPP-printed laminate under buyer brand. Artwork support and destination-market labelling review included.
