Can you export rice from India to Israel?
Yes. Om Prasadam exports Basmati and Non-Basmati rice from India to Israel under APEDA registration, loading at Mundra or Nhava Sheva for Ashdod or Haifa in twelve to fifteen days. The decisive requirement in this market is kosher certification: retail and institutional buyers work to a recognised hechsher, and rice needs supervision covering the mill, the packing line and the shipped lot. We arrange that up front, alongside Hebrew labelling and Israeli Ministry of Health import documentation, and quote FOB Indian port or CIF Ashdod in USD.

Compliance
Documentation for Israel 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.
- Kosher certification. Supervision arranged with a recognised certifying authority covering the mill, the packing line and the shipped lot. This is the requirement that governs whether the product can be listed at all.
- Ministry of Health import file. Consignments documented for Israeli food import clearance, with composition, origin, production and expiry dating and storage conditions.
- Hebrew labelling. Hebrew and English labels applied at the mill, carrying net weight, origin, dates and importer details.
- Residue analysis. Lot-level residue analysis from NABL-accredited laboratories, with our pesticide residue free grades available where a clean report has to travel with the goods.
- 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 Israel
Yes, and it is the first thing we arrange rather than the last. Supervision is set up with a recognised certifying authority covering the mill, the packing line and the shipped lot, because without a valid hechsher the product cannot be listed in most of the trade.
Twelve to fifteen days port to port from Mundra or Nhava Sheva, usually transshipping at Jebel Ali, Port Said or Piraeus.
Yes. Our PRF grades are tested against 350-plus residues at NABL-accredited laboratories and ship with the analysis per lot, which suits retail listings that require a documented clean report.
Yes. Hebrew and English labelling is applied at the mill with net weight, origin, production and expiry dates and importer details, so packs arrive shelf-ready.
One 20ft container, roughly 26 metric tonnes. Mixed-variety loads are accepted from five tonnes per grade, so a Basmati retail line and a volume institutional grade can share one container.
