Super Kernel Basmati Rice from Pakistan
Pakistan's signature basmati variety. Excellent aroma with slightly shorter grain than 1121, preferred by traditional basmati buyers for its authentic flavor profile.
Super Kernel is the value-tier premium basmati. Raw grain at 7.20mm with strong traditional aroma, slightly firmer cooking than 1121, at a workable food-cost positioning. Buyers in UAE, Saudi Arabia, UK, and EU take it where 1121 is too premium for the channel.
GCC food service uses Super Kernel for biryani and pulao programs that need basmati positioning at a workable food cost. EU and UK retail private-label programs blend it into branded pouch packs (5kg and 10kg BOPP). FOB Karachi: $965-$1,005/MT (indicative), white or sella. Minimum order: 2 x 20' FCL. Pre-shipment inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas, or Intertek) included subject to MOQ. Compare with 1121 Basmati or view current Pakistan rice prices.
