Seeraga Samba Rice Exporter from India

Aromatic Short-Grain Rice

Why South Indian cooks choose Seeraga Samba

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 & private label

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.
