Basmati Rice from Pakistan — NaumanSab Oil Company

Pakistan and basmati rice have a relationship that goes back centuries. The specific combination of soil, water, and climate in Pakistan's Punjab region particularly around Gujranwala, Hafizabad, and Sheikhupura produces a long-grain aromatic rice that international buyers have recognised as distinct from what's grown anywhere else. The grain elongates to almost double its dry length when cooked, stays separate rather than clumping, and carries that characteristic fragrance that makes it identifiable without needing a label.

NaumanSab has been exporting basmati rice from Pakistan since 1960. The company works directly with growers in Pakistan's primary rice-producing regions and handles the full supply chain from procurement through processing, milling, and export. Three varieties are currently available for domestic and international buyers.

Three Varieties — What Each One Is

The 1121 Basmati Rice Steam is parboiled before milling a process that partially cooks the grain under pressure, locking nutrients inside and making the rice more resistant to overcooking. It's a preferred variety for food service and restaurant buyers because the grains consistently hold their shape and length even when the cooking time isn't perfectly controlled. 2% broken specification.

The 1121 Basmati Rice White is the raw milled variety no parboiling, which means it cooks faster and has the pure white colour that retail buyers and domestic consumers typically prefer. It's the more traditional of the two 1121 varieties. 2% broken specification.

The Basmati Rice Sella Golden undergoes a different parboiling process that gives the grain a golden-yellow colour before it's milled to white. The Sella process extends shelf life and increases the rice's resistance to humidity during storage particularly relevant for export shipments to humid climates in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. 2% broken specification.

Why 1121 Specifically

The 1121 variety was developed specifically for its extraordinary grain length after cooking. On average, a dry 1121 grain measures around 8.35mm the longest of any commercially grown basmati variety. After cooking, that grain can reach 20mm or more. For buyers in the Gulf, Iran, and European markets where long-grain basmati commands a premium, 1121 is the variety that meets the specification most importers are working to.

FAQs

NaumanSab exports three varieties of basmati rice: 1121 Basmati Rice Steam (parboiled, 2% broken), 1121 Basmati Rice White (raw milled, 2% broken), and Basmati Rice Sella Golden (golden parboiled, 2% broken). All are sourced from Pakistan's primary rice-growing regions in Punjab. Contact info@naumansab.com for current pricing and availability.

Steam basmati (parboiled) is pressure-cooked before milling, the grain holds its shape better during cooking and is preferred for food service use. Sella basmati undergoes a different parboiling process that gives the grain a golden colour and extends shelf life significantly, making it practical for long-distance export shipments. White basmati is unparboiled, it cooks faster and has a pure white appearance preferred in most retail markets.

The basmati grown in Pakistan's Punjab region, particularly around Gujranwala and Sheikhupura, benefits from specific soil composition and the Himalayan river irrigation system that produces the grain elongation and aroma profile that defines premium basmati. The 1121 variety from Pakistan produces one of the longest cooked grains of any commercially available basmati, which is the primary quality marker international buyers use when specifying premium basmati rice.

Yes. NaumanSab has been exporting from Pakistan since 1960 and supplies basmati rice to buyers in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. Export documentation including phytosanitary certificates is available. Contact +92-300-9232132 or info@naumansab.com for export pricing and minimum order quantities.

All three NaumanSab basmati varieties are supplied at 2% broken specification, meaning less than 2% of grains in the batch are broken. This is a standard quality tier for premium export-grade basmati and is the specification most international commercial buyers request.
