Markets

Most of what we ship goes to the Gulf, where the rice, pulse and spice trade is priced weekly and labelling rules are strict. We also load for Europe and for buyers who consolidate several categories into one container.

Gulf first, then Europe

Each market has its own habits: pack sizes, label language, the grade that sells. These are what we plan around when quoting.

  • Label language and the production and expiry format
  • Retail pack sizes that move on that shelf
  • The grade and broken percentage buyers expect at that price
  • Residue and additive limits checked before loading
  • Documents the importer needs for clearance

Mixed containers

One container, several categories. Rice, pulses, spices and pantry lines can travel together. Each line is quoted and documented separately.

Quoted line by line. You see the packing and net weight for every line, so you can drop one without re-quoting the rest.

Loaded to a plan. Heavy bags at the bottom, cartons above, with a stuffing plan and photographs before the doors close.
