Parboiled long grain that carries the volume across Algerian retail and institutional supply at a workable landed cost.
Algiers · Oran · Skikda
Algeria imports all of its rice and regulates who may bring it in. We quote against your licence and label in French and Arabic so the consignment clears without argument.
Grading docket
LOT / DZ-01Non-Basmati · Parboiled
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.
