Agricultural Commodities Export
Leading supplier and exporter of Pakistani Basmati and non-Basmati rice, coordinating mill-specific sourcing for wholesale, food-service and private-label programs. Every offer is built around the requested variety, process, crop, approved sample, quality limits, packing, inspection and destination requirements.
Commercial portfolio
The bands below are practical export screening targets—not universal statutory grades. Final acceptance follows the signed specification, approved sample, agreed test method and inspection result.
Premium extra-long grain selected for aroma, cooked elongation, separate texture and high-end retail or food-service programs. Crop, age, milling degree and final lot specification are agreed before shipment.
Classic aromatic Basmati valued for taste, soft cooked texture and traditional presentation. Only eligible origin, variety and GI-compliant lots may be represented as Pakistani Basmati.
A cost-efficient, slender non-Basmati option for wholesale, catering and volume retail. Grain length, broken percentage, polish and whiteness are supplied against an approved sample and contract.
A robust volume grade for bulk-cooking and price-sensitive markets. 5%, 10%, 25% and fully broken programs may be evaluated subject to crop, mill and lot availability.
Basmati identity: Basmati is a protected geographical indication in Pakistan. The GI specification provides a baseline—including minimum pre-cooked grain length, elongation and sensory characteristics—but the higher variety-specific commercial targets shown here must still be agreed lot by lot.
Indicative quality schedule
These trade bands help frame an inquiry. Sample, crop year, milling and polishing level, basis of calculation, sampling plan and inspection agency must be identical when results are compared.

AGL means average grain length before cooking. Exact limits, tolerances and analytical methods form part of the sales contract; a generated web table is not a certificate of analysis.
Export logistics & documentation
AGE coordinates packing, documents and shipment against the buyer's destination rules. Independent quality inspection and government phytosanitary certification are separate functions.
Final payload depends on bag size, container limits and carrier acceptance. Retail/private-label packs may include 1, 2, 5, 10 or 20 kg; bulk programs commonly use 25, 40 or 50 kg PP or jute bags, subject to availability.
FOB Karachi / Port Qasim and suitable CFR or CIF destination offers can be evaluated. Payment may be an irrevocable L/C at sight or a mutually agreed T/T schedule, including a 50/50 structure where accepted. Lead time is confirmed per crop, mill, packing and vessel schedule.
AGE rice export desk
Share variety, white / steam / Sella process, broken percentage, moisture, crop or aging preference, quantity, pack size, private-label artwork status, destination port and required certificates. AGE will review mill availability, sample, quality controls, documents and shipment terms before issuing an offer.
Classification note: Pakistan's FY 2025–26 tariff lists semi-milled or wholly milled Basmati rice under PCT 1006.3010, other semi-milled or wholly milled rice under 1006.3090, and broken rice under 1006.4000. The tariff's customs-duty column concerns that schedule and must not be read as a blanket export-tax statement. Pakistan export treatment and destination import duties, taxes, permits and controls are shipment-specific and must be checked before contracting.
GI and compliance note: “Pakistani Basmati” must satisfy eligible variety, geographical origin and applicable GI requirements. AGE does not represent every lot as certified for every country; buyer-market food-safety, labelling and certificate requirements are documented in the contract.
