Questions from Brazil buyers
What is the minimum order quantity for Brazil?
Minimums vary by grade and packing. Tell us your target volume and we will confirm what is possible for shipments to Brazil.
Can you quote FOB and CIF for Brazil?
Yes. FOB suits buyers who arrange their own freight into Brazil, and CIF suits buyers who want shipping and insurance included in the price.

Yes. We prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and phytosanitary certificate, and coordinate with your local customs agent.

India's rules on which rice categories can be exported, and at what price or duty, have changed more than once in recent years. We confirm the current position for your grade before quoting.
