Can you export rice from India to Algeria?

Yes. Om Prasadam exports Basmati and Non-Basmati rice from India to Algeria under APEDA registration, shipping to Algiers, Oran or Skikda in eighteen to twenty-two days. Algeria grows no significant rice crop and imports the whole requirement, but access is regulated: importers work under licensing and foreign-trade arrangements that govern quantity and timing, and consignments clear against food import controls. Labelling is expected in French and Arabic. We quote against your licence position, arrange halal certification per consignment and prepare the documentation before the container is booked.

  • French and Arabic labelling. Labels applied at the mill in French and Arabic, with net weight, origin, dates and importer details.
