1121 Basmati Rice Manufacturer & Exporter from India
1121 basmati rice is the extra-long grain basmati buyers ask for by name, and Indiafeast Millers Private Limited is a 1121 basmati rice manufacturer from India that supplies it in eight forms. From golden sella to pesticide-free brown, each one is processed at the Indiafeast rice processing unit in Taraori, Karnal and shipped in bulk or under your brand.
What is 1121 basmati rice?
1121 basmati rice is an extra-long grain basmati variety, officially Pusa Basmati 1121, bred by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute in New Delhi and released in 2003. Its milled grains average about 8.35 mm, and they grow to roughly two to two and a half times that length in the pot while staying separate and non-sticky.
It is grown across India's GI basmati belt and sold as sella (golden, white, creamy or lemon), steam, raw or brown rice. As a basmati rice manufacturer in India, we work with 1121 more than any other grain, because it is the one our buyers in the Gulf, Europe and Africa ask for first.

Choose your 1121 basmati rice
One extra-long grain, eight products. What changes is how the paddy is treated before milling, and that decides the colour, the cooking and the market each one sells best in. Hover over a photo to look at the grain up close.
01 / 081121 Golden SellaBasmati Rice
Our most exported form. Steaming turns the grain golden and very hard to break, so it stays long and separate in a kabsa or biryani pot.
02 / 081121 White SellaBasmati Rice
Sella strength with a clean, creamy-white look. It holds its shape in big pots and still looks bright on a retail shelf.
03 / 081121 Creamy SellaBasmati Rice
Sits between white and golden sella, with an even ivory shade that some markets ask for by name.
04 / 081121 Lemon SellaBasmati Rice
A pale lemon-yellow sella that cooks just like golden sella: long, firm and fully separate.
05 / 081121 SteamBasmati Rice
Lightly steamed before milling, so it keeps a soft bite and strong aroma. The shelf favourite for supermarket packs.
06 / 081121 RawBasmati Rice
No steaming at all. Raw 1121 keeps the fullest basmati fragrance and the softest texture, for chefs and premium packs.
07 / 081121 BrownBasmati Rice
Only the husk comes off. The bran stays on the extra-long grain, giving a nutty bite and more fibre.
08 / 08Pesticide Free 1121 BrownBasmati Rice
Brown 1121 from lots set aside and tested against the residue limits of your market, with a report for each lot.

1121 basmati rice questions, answered
Straight answers on grain length, forms, price, minimum order and shipping from a 1121 basmati rice manufacturer and exporter in India.
What is 1121 basmati rice?
1121 basmati rice, officially Pusa Basmati 1121, is an extra-long grain basmati variety bred by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute in New Delhi and released in 2003. Its raw grains average about 8.35 mm and grow to roughly two to two and a half times that length when cooked, staying separate and non-sticky.
What is the grain length of 1121 basmati rice?
In our export specification, raw milled 1121 grains measure 8.30–8.40 mm, about 8.35 mm on average. After cooking they become roughly two to two and a half times longer, depending on the form, the soaking and the water used.
What is the difference between 1121 sella and 1121 steam basmati rice?
Sella rice is parboiled: the paddy is soaked, steamed and dried before milling, so the grain cooks firm, fully separate and holds up in large pots. Steam rice is only lightly steamed, so it stays whiter, softer and more aromatic. Sella suits food service and biryani or kabsa; steam suits retail packs and home cooking.
What is 1121 golden sella basmati rice?
1121 golden sella is 1121 basmati rice parboiled with a longer steaming that turns the grain golden amber. It is the firmest form of 1121, very hard to break and fully separate after cooking, which is why restaurants and caterers in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Iraq buy it for kabsa, mandi and biryani.
Which is better, 1121 or 1509 basmati rice?
1121 has a slightly longer grain (8.30–8.40 mm against 8.20–8.30 mm for 1509 in our specifications) and is the benchmark many Gulf buyers ask for. 1509 looks similar after cooking and is usually priced lower. Choose 1121 for premium positioning and 1509 when price matters more.
Is 1121 basmati rice good for biryani?
Yes. 1121 sella, white or golden, is one of the most used rices for biryani because its long grains stay separate and firm through dum cooking. 1121 steam also works well for home-style biryani if you prefer a softer grain.
What is the price of 1121 basmati rice?
The price depends on the form, crop year, ageing, grade, packing, export policy and Incoterm, so it changes through the year. Our rice price page lists current export prices per metric ton with their validity date, and we send a firm FOB, CNF or CIF quote once we know the form, quantity, bag type and port.
How do I choose a 1121 basmati rice supplier from India?
Ask for the specification in writing (grain length, broken, moisture, purity), cook samples of two or three forms side by side, and check that the supplier is ISO certified, APEDA registered and can send a quality certificate with every lot. Indiafeast Millers, a 1121 basmati rice manufacturer from India, sends free samples and puts the specification into the contract.
What is the minimum order for 1121 basmati rice export?
The minimum order (MOQ) for 1121 basmati rice export is 50 MT, which is about two 20 ft containers. The 50 MT can be split across two forms or two pack sizes, and free samples are sent before you order.
Can you pack 1121 basmati rice under my brand?
Yes. We pack 1121 basmati rice under your own label in ten pack types, help adapt your artwork to your market's label rules and keep your design for your orders only.
Which documents come with a 1121 basmati rice shipment?
Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, phytosanitary and fumigation certificates and a quality certificate for the lot. Halal certificates, residue reports or inspection by SGS or your own agency can be added for your market.
Which countries do you ship 1121 basmati rice to?
We ship to importers, distributors and wholesalers in 14+ countries across the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iraq, Egypt, Kenya, Ghana, Malaysia and the United Kingdom, and can quote for most other destinations.
