01
The market
Demand in the UAE
The UAE imports large volumes of non-basmati white and steam rice — for domestic consumption, for its very large hospitality sector, and for onward re-export across the Gulf and into Africa.
Re-export buyers are the most schedule-sensitive customers we have: a container that misses its sailing does not just arrive late, it misses an onward booking too. That is the standard this market sets.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you provide Arabic labelling?
Yes — bilingual Arabic and English bag printing, laid out to the market’s labelling requirements, with a proof for your approval before the run.
How quickly can a container sail?
India to Jebel Ali is a short, frequently served route. Once the grade is confirmed and packing is booked, it is one of the fastest schedules we run.
Can we visit the mill?
Buyers are welcome at the unit in Chandrapur, and our Dubai office will arrange it. Serious buyers visiting the mill is normal in this trade, not an imposition.
