At Nauman SAB, we bring you the finest selection of Basmati rice varieties, meticulously sourced from the lush fields of Pakistan's agricultural heartland. Our dedication to quality begins at the very roots of cultivation, where we work closely with local farmers to ensure sustainable farming practices and premium-grade crops.
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 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.
