1121 Basmati Rice is a procurement-grade aromatic grain used across retail, food processing and hospitality channels. It cooks to a long, separate grain ideal for pilafs, biryanis and packaged ready-meal ingredients. This description covers selection guidance, technical attributes, packaging and procurement considerations to help buyers evaluate fit and prepare orders.
Applications and Buyer Fit
Food processors use 1121 Basmati for premium rice lines and convenience meal kits. Retail packers select 1121 for branded and private-label bags targeted at grocery channels. HORECA buyers choose it for consistent plate presentation and cook-time predictability. Each use-case demands clean grain, low broken ratio and uniform moisture for stable shelf life and cooking behaviour.
Technical Attributes & Quality Checks
Key evaluation points include grain length, broken percentage and moisture content. Procurement teams should request a sample and a COA noting moisture and visual grading. The rice is machine cleaned and graded; lot sampling ensures the broken-ratio stays within buyer tolerance. These checks reduce variability in processed products and packaged retail packs.
Packaging, Supply & Dispatch
Packaging options include 25 kg retail sacks with PE liners and multi-bag cartons for bulk orders. For export container shipments, cartons are palletized and shrink-wrapped. Supply capacity supports scheduled repeat shipments and palletized container loads. Lead times are confirmed at order and depend on order size and seasonality.
Procurement Decision Guide
When sourcing, buyers should prioritize consistent grain length and a documented sampling protocol. For private-label runs, specify pack design and inner liner requirements early. For large-volume contracts, request batch traceability and sample COA to lock grading expectations before production run confirmation.
