Sona Masoori Rice
Our lead export line — lightweight, aromatic medium-grain rice, naturally aged and sortex cleaned.
Sona Masoori is the everyday premium rice of South India and the line we ship most into the GCC. It is a medium-grain, low-starch variety that cooks light and separate, which is why it dominates household and food-service demand across the Indian and South Asian diaspora.
We supply it milled, polished and sortex cleaned, packed for retail in 1–18 kg consumer bags or in 25/50 kg bulk. Our own Nandana Gold retail pack shows the specification and print quality we can produce under your brand.
