Key Export Categories
1121 Basmati Sella: The world’s longest grain. Known for staying separate and firm after cooking, it is the #1 choice for Biryani in the Middle East and Europe.
Golden Sella Basmati: Parboiled rice that retains a beautiful golden hue. It is extremely hardy, nutrient-dense, and almost impossible to overcook, making it ideal for large-scale catering.
IR-64 Parboiled: The workhorse of the global rice trade. Sourced primarily from Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, it is the staple for African and Southeast Asian markets due to its affordability and high energy content.
Sugandha / Sharbati: Often called "Semi-Basmati." These offer a pleasant aroma and long grain at a significantly lower price point than pure Basmati, perfect for budget-conscious retail brands.
Packaging & Logistics
Bulk Packing: 25kg or 50kg New Strong PP Bags or Non-Woven Bags.
Retail/Boutique Packing: 1kg, 2kg, 5kg, and 10kg Vacuum-sealed packs or Metallic-finish pouches for the premium Basmati segment.
Stuffing Capacity:
20ft FCL: Approx. 25–26 Metric Tons.

Product Description
The Soul of the Feast: R&B International Premium Rice Range
R&B International is a premier exporter of the finest Indian rice, sourced from the mineral-rich foothills of the Himalayas and the sun-soaked deltas of South India. Our rice is processed in high-tech milling facilities that utilize world-class Satake and Buhler machinery to ensure every grain is polished, de-stoned, and graded to perfection.
Why R&B International Rice Stands Out:
The "Extra Long" Advantage: Our 1121 Basmati is selected for its extraordinary elongation. When cooked, the grains can reach up to 20mm in length, providing the luxurious "fluffy" look required for premium culinary presentations.
Double-Polished & Sortex Cleaned: We utilize multi-stage optical sorters to eliminate chalky, discolored, or broken grains. The result is a consistent, pearl-like finish that enhances the visual appeal of any dish.
Natural Aging Process: For our premium Basmati, we offer "Aged Rice" (12–24 months). Aging reduces moisture and allows the grain to develop its full aromatic potential and non-sticky cooking profile, a hallmark of authentic Indian Basmati.
Nutritional Preservation: Our Parboiled (Sella) varieties undergo a specialized hydro-thermic process that drives the vitamins and minerals from the husk into the grain, ensuring a more nutritious product for the health-conscious consumer.
From the royal tables of the Gulf to the essential food supplies of Africa, R&B International delivers the heritage, aroma, and energy of the world’s finest rice.
Strategic Tip for R&B International:
The "Sella" vs. "Steam" Strategy: When exporting to the Middle East, focus on Sella (Parboiled) rice; it is preferred for its ability to withstand the heavy spices and long cooking times of Mandi and Kabsa. When exporting to the UK or USA for home consumption, offer Steam Rice, as it cooks faster and has a softer, more delicate texture that western consumers often prefer.
