1121 Basmati Rice from Pakistan
The world's longest grain basmati. Premium aromatic rice with extraordinary length after cooking. The benchmark for quality in GCC and European markets.
1121 is the longest-grain basmati in commercial export. Raw grain measures 8.30mm; cooked grain runs over 22mm. That is roughly 2.5x elongation, the benchmark for premium biryani in UAE, Saudi Arabia, UK, and EU retail. Non-sticky cooking texture, distinct natural aroma, color-sorted, double silky polished.
Buyer profile splits cleanly. GCC and EU retailers buy 5kg and 10kg BOPP-laminated packs for shelf. UAE and Saudi food service takes 25kg and 50kg PP woven for hotels and restaurants. USA importers run the South Asian diaspora retail channel. FOB Karachi: $1,095-$1,240/MT (indicative) depending on white, sella, or steam processing. Minimum order: 2 x 20' FCL (~52 MT). Pre-shipment inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Intertek included subject to MOQ. EU and UK shipments add Eurofins MRL screening; Pakistan basmati holds fewer RASFF notifications than alternatives. View current FOB prices or request a confirmed quote valid 48 hours.
