Golden-toned parboiled Basmati preferred in Saudi and Gulf markets.

1121 Golden Sella is the preferred parboiled Basmati grade for many Saudi and GCC importers. The distinctive golden-amber colour comes from a controlled parboiling process that locks in nutrients, improves grain firmness and delivers the visual presentation demanded for kabsa, mandi and premium foodservice.
NOOR AL-MANSOOR (REAP 1-1-26-7843) supplies bulk quantities of export-ready 1121 Golden Sella directly from Punjab. Every quotation is built around your exact requirements: grade specification, broken percentage, packing, destination port (Jeddah, Dammam, Riyadh or other GCC) and commercial terms (FOB / CFR / CIF).
