1121 Basmati
The long-grain of choice for plov, where the grain must stay separate and elongate rather than collapse into the dish.
Baku · via Bandar Abbas or Poti
Basmati rice export from India to Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan is landlocked from the sea trade, so the route is the hard part. We move containers through the North–South corridor or the Black Sea and quote the whole chain, not just the sea leg.

Can you export rice from India to Azerbaijan?
Yes. Om Prasadam exports Basmati and Non-Basmati rice from India to Azerbaijan under APEDA registration. Baku sits on the Caspian, so there is no direct sea call: containers move either through the International North–South Transport Corridor, discharging at Bandar Abbas and continuing overland, or through the Black Sea to Poti or Batumi in Georgia and then by road or rail to Baku. Door delivery typically runs twenty-five to thirty-five days depending on which corridor is used. Because the chain has several legs, we quote it end to end and fix the routing before booking. Basmati and long-grain plov rice carry this market — plov is the national dish and the grain is chosen for it.

Rice varieties that move in this market
Every market buys differently. These are the grades that actually sell in Azerbaijan, rather than a catalogue of everything we mill.
1401 Basmati
A well-balanced Basmati with strong aroma and a fluffy, non-sticky cook — favoured where fragrance carries the finished plate.
Sella Basmati (parboiled)
Parboiled Basmati that holds firm through the long, slow cooking plov requires, with less breakage in bulk service.
Logistics
Shipping rice from India to Azerbaijan
Loading at Mundra and Nhava Sheva, discharging at Baku.
Load ports
Mundra and Nhava Sheva. Two corridors: via Bandar Abbas and overland through Iran, or via Poti or Batumi on the Black Sea and then road or rail. We price and book the corridor that suits your timing and clearing arrangements.
Transit time
Twenty-five to thirty-five days port to port, with routing and transshipment accounting for most of the variation.
Order structure
Five tonnes minimum per variety, though the long inland leg means most Azerbaijani buyers order full loads of one or two grades rather than many small lines.
Incoterms
FOB Mundra or Nhava Sheva, or delivered Baku with the inland leg quoted in. CIF to Bandar Abbas, Poti or Batumi where you arrange your own onward haulage.
Compliance
Documentation for Azerbaijan import clearance
Most rice consignments that get held up are held on paperwork, not on quality. We prepare the file before the container is booked so your clearing agent is never waiting on us.
- Corridor fixed before booking. North–South via Bandar Abbas, or Black Sea via Poti or Batumi. The corridor changes transit, cost and the transit-country paperwork, so we agree it with you in writing first.
- Food safety and conformity. Consignments documented to Azerbaijani food import requirements, with composition, origin, production and expiry dating and storage conditions.
- Transit documentation. Transit-country paperwork prepared for the corridor in use, so the container is not held at an intermediate border.
- Shelf life on arrival. Date-coded to arrival rather than to milling, because the inland leg adds weeks to a sea-only timeline.
- Export documentation. Phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, health certificate, commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading.

Questions importers ask
Exporting rice from India to Azerbaijan
By one of two corridors, because Baku is on the Caspian and takes no direct sea call. Either through the International North–South Transport Corridor, discharging at Bandar Abbas and continuing overland, or through the Black Sea to Poti or Batumi and then by road or rail. We fix the corridor with you before booking and quote the chain end to end.
Twenty-five to thirty-five days door to door depending on the corridor. That is longer than a sea-only lane, which is why we date-code shelf life to arrival rather than to milling.
1121 Basmati is the usual specification — it stays separate and elongates rather than collapsing through the long cook. Sella (parboiled) Basmati is the alternative where kitchens want an even firmer grain and less breakage in bulk service.
Yes. We can quote delivered Baku with the inland leg included, or CIF to Bandar Abbas, Poti or Batumi if you prefer to arrange onward haulage yourself.
One 20ft container, roughly 26 metric tonnes. Mixed loads are accepted from five tonnes per grade, though the long inland leg means most buyers here order one or two grades in full loads.
