Basmati and Non-Basmati Rice Exporter to Saudi Arabia
Krishna Rice Mill has been part of the rice trade for more than 35 years, longer than most exporters operating out of Karnal today. That track record now covers more than 40 countries, and Saudi Arabia is one of the established markets already on that list, not a new one being tested. Buyers looking for rice export to Saudi Arabia from India get a supplier that has already shipped there, understands the paperwork, and runs a mill built for consistent, container-scale supply.
The company operates out of Nadana Road, Taraori, Karnal, in Haryana’s basmati belt, with a processing capacity of 250 MT per day. The full range runs across more than 80 rice varieties, basmati and non-basmati, plus a separate Pesticide Residue Free line, all handled under one farm-to-shipment process: paddy sourcing, milling and packaging, then export and logistics.

Compliance and Export Regulations for Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia checks food imports closely, and rice buyers there usually ask for certification proof before confirming an order. Krishna Rice Mill’s documentation is built around this, covering food safety, quality management, and religious compliance together rather than as separate add-ons.
Certifications Held
SASO and SABER Requirements
Products entering Saudi Arabia generally need to meet SASO technical regulations and be registered on the SABER platform before shipment, alongside a valid Certificate of Conformity.
Halal Certification
Halal certification is close to non-negotiable for a rice exporter to Saudi Arabia, since it confirms the product meets Islamic dietary requirements at every stage from processing to packaging. Krishna Rice Mill holds Halal certification alongside SFDA compliance, which covers the food safety side Saudi authorities look for on the import side.
Popular Rice Varieties for the Saudi Market
Saudi kitchens, both home and commercial, lean heavily on long-grain basmati for dishes like kabsa and mandi, alongside steady demand for non-basmati rice through food service and retail channels.
