Basmati rice export from India to Palestine
Goods reach Palestinian markets through third-party ports and land crossings, so routing and paperwork matter more here than anywhere else we ship. We plan both before booking.

Can you export rice from India to Palestine?
Yes. Om Prasadam exports Basmati and Non-Basmati rice from India for Palestinian importers under APEDA registration. Because the Palestinian territories have no operating deep-water port of their own, consignments route through Ashdod and the Israeli customs envelope, or overland from Jordan through the Allenby / King Hussein Bridge crossing. Sea transit from Mundra or Nhava Sheva is twelve to fifteen days, and inland clearance and crossing time sits on top of that and varies. We agree the routing, the consignee structure and the document set with you before booking, because a container routed on assumption is a container that sits.

Rice varieties that move in this market
Every market buys differently. These are the grades that actually sell in Palestine, rather than a catalogue of everything we mill.
Sharbati
A long, slender grain with a Basmati-like appearance at a Non-Basmati price, useful where the shelf needs a mid tier.
IR 64 parboiled
Parboiled volume grade for institutional kitchens, distribution programmes and the value grocery shelf.
Logistics
Shipping rice from India to Palestine
Loading at Mundra and Nhava Sheva, discharging at Ashdod.
Load ports
Mundra and Nhava Sheva. Sea legs to Ashdod commonly transship at Jebel Ali, Port Said or Piraeus. Overland routing via Aqaba and the Allenby crossing is an alternative where your clearing arrangements favour it.
Transit time
Twelve to fifteen days port to port, with routing and transshipment accounting for most of the variation.
Order structure
Five tonnes minimum per variety. Mixed loads suit this market because importers typically supply a broad grocery book rather than a single grade.
Incoterms
FOB Mundra or Nhava Sheva, or CIF Ashdod, quoted in USD. Inland haulage and crossing charges are quoted separately once the routing is fixed.
Compliance
Documentation for Palestine 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.
- Routing agreed first. Whether the consignment moves via Ashdod or overland from Jordan changes the consignee structure, the customs file and the timeline. We fix this with you in writing before the container is booked.
- Import clearance file. Documentation prepared for the customs envelope the consignment actually enters, with composition, origin, production and expiry dating and storage conditions.
- Halal certification. Issued per consignment by a recognised certification body covering the mill, the packing line and the shipped lot.
- Arabic labelling. Arabic and English labels applied at the mill, carrying net weight, origin, dates and importer details.
- 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 Palestine
Through third-party infrastructure. There is no operating deep-water Palestinian port, so consignments route through Ashdod and the Israeli customs envelope, or overland from Jordan via the Allenby / King Hussein Bridge crossing. We agree which route applies, and the consignee structure that goes with it, before booking.
Twelve to fifteen days sea transit from Mundra or Nhava Sheva, plus inland clearance and crossing time, which varies. We date-code to arrival rather than to milling so remaining shelf life absorbs that variation.
One 20ft container, roughly 26 metric tonnes, and it need not be one variety. Mixed loads are accepted from five tonnes per grade, which suits importers supplying a broad grocery book.
Yes. Halal certification is issued per consignment by a recognised certification body, and Arabic and English labelling is applied at the mill with net weight, origin, dates and importer details.
We prepare the full export and food-import document set for the route agreed, and work to your clearing agent’s requirements. The clearing itself is handled by your agent on the ground, which is why we fix routing before the container moves.
