Seeraga Samba Rice Exporter from India

Seeraga Samba takes its name from its resemblance to cumin (seeragam in Tamil) — a markedly short, fine grain that sets it apart from long-grain biryani rices. It is the grain South Indian cooks reach for when they want each kernel to stay separate yet carry the aroma and spice of a slow-cooked biryani, kuska or pulao. Its small size and firm texture make it a traditional choice for Chettinad and Tamil-style biryani, as well as ghee rice and festive preparations.

We source Seeraga Samba in the Cauvery delta around Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu, a rice-growing belt fed by the river system. Lots are cleaned, graded and packed to your specification. Both raw (unpolished) and steamed forms are available; the exact grade, polish and grain length are confirmed at quotation so the rice matches the dish profile and price point your market expects.

Packing is flexible. We supply jute bags and PP/BOPP woven bags for bulk movement, and vacuum or consumer-size packs for retail and HoReCa channels. Private-label and own-brand packing is available for qualifying orders, with artwork and pack sizes confirmed per programme. Bag weights, carton configuration and container loading plans are quoted against your order.

Orders run from roughly one 20ft container, with LCL and mixed loads consolidated ex-Chennai where you are combining SKUs — confirmed per order. Reefer or cold-chain shipping is arranged per consignment and coordinated with your forwarder. Full export documentation — commercial invoice with HS code (confirmed at quotation), packing list, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, fumigation/ISPM-15 and CoA/lab reports — is available on request, including the origin documentation your destination import clearance requires. Certification programmes can be arranged for qualifying orders on request.
