IR 64 parboiled
The workhorse of Yemeni supply. Parboiled IR 64 holds its grain through long cooking and bulk service, and lands at a price a staple market can carry.

Can you export rice from India to Yemen?
Yes. Om Prasadam exports rice from India to Yemen under APEDA registration, loading at Mundra or Nhava Sheva for Aden, Hodeidah or Mukalla in seven to ten days — one of the shortest runs from the Indian coast. Yemen buys staples first: parboiled IR 64 and long-grain non-Basmati move in volume, with Basmati alongside for retail and hospitality. Shipments to Yemeni ports may route through the UN Verification and Inspection Mechanism, and war-risk cover and berthing conditions change, so we confirm routing, inspection and insurance with you before booking rather than after.

Rice varieties that move in this market
Every market buys differently. These are the grades that actually sell in Yemen, rather than a catalogue of everything we mill.
Parmal raw
An economical everyday raw rice for high-volume kitchens, distribution programmes and the value retail shelf.
1121 Basmati
Retail and hospitality Basmati for Aden and Mukalla, usually a smaller share of the container alongside the staple grades.
Logistics
Shipping rice from India to Yemen
Loading at Mundra and Nhava Sheva, discharging at the Port of Aden.
Load ports
Mundra and Nhava Sheva. Direct and transshipped services both run, commonly via Djibouti or Jebel Ali. Berthing conditions vary by port and season, so we confirm the routing at booking.
Transit time
Seven to ten days port to port, with routing and transshipment accounting for most of the variation.
Order structure
Five tonnes minimum per variety. Most Yemeni orders lead on a volume staple with a smaller Basmati component for retail.
Incoterms
FOB Mundra or Nhava Sheva, or CFR / CIF to the discharge port. War-risk cover and inspection requirements are agreed in writing before booking.
Compliance
Documentation for Yemen 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.
- Inspection routing. Consignments to Yemeni ports may require clearance through the UN Verification and Inspection Mechanism. We prepare the documentation set for it and confirm the routing with you before the container is booked.
- 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, with net weight, origin, dates and importer details.
- Fortified and relief tenders. Where you are supplying an aid or institutional programme, we can pack and mark to the tender specification and provide lot-level analysis for each consignment.
- 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 Yemen
Yes. Rice is a food staple and moves to Yemeni ports, but the route carries conditions that a normal Gulf shipment does not: inspection may run through the UN Verification and Inspection Mechanism, war-risk cover applies, and berthing varies by port. We confirm routing, inspection and insurance with you in writing before booking.
Seven to ten days port to port from Mundra or Nhava Sheva — among the shortest runs from India. Transshipment via Djibouti or Jebel Ali adds to that where a direct call is not available.
Parboiled IR 64 and economy raw grades carry the volume, because Yemen buys rice as a staple. Basmati sells into retail and hospitality in Aden and Mukalla, usually as a smaller share of a mixed container.
Yes. We can pack and mark to a tender specification and provide lot-level analysis for each consignment. Send us the tender document and we will confirm what we can meet before you bid.
One 20ft container, roughly 26 metric tonnes. Mixed-variety loads are accepted from five tonnes per grade, so a staple-led container can still carry a Basmati line.
