Frequently Asked
Questions

What is the difference between Boiled and Raw Ponni?

Boiled Ponni is parboiled before milling, preserving nutrients and ensuring grains don't break. Raw Ponni is milled directly and is softer/whiter but cooks faster.

Is this new crop or old crop?

We typically supply 'Old Crop' (aged 6-12 months) Ponni rice as it expands better upon cooking and is less sticky.

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

Our MOQ is one 20 ft container (approx 25-26 MT). We can mix different bag sizes in one shipment.

Is Ponni Rice suitable for diabetics?

Ponni Rice (especially Boiled) generally has a lower glycemic index compared to other polished white rice, making it a preferred choice for health-conscious consumers.

Do you export to Singapore/Malaysia?

Yes, these are our primary markets for Ponni Rice. We are familiar with the specific quality and packaging requirements for these regions.

What are your payment terms?

For new buyers: LC at sight or 30% advance with balance against documents.
