Rice
Rice is Vetriva's flagship category. We work directly with established mills in Tamil Nadu, supplying by grade rather than by brand name: boiled, idli, raw, steam and traditional rice, each with its paddy source, grain size, cooked elongation and moisture band stated up front. Multiple grades consolidate into a single shipment, so a buyer can cover a full range from one supplier. Every lot is contracted against agreed specifications, with pre-shipment sampling and third-party inspection available on request.
- Five grades — boiled, idli, raw, steam, traditional
- Direct mill relationships in Tamil Nadu
- Retail packs 1–26 kg, bulk 25 / 50 kg
- Private label packing available
- Pre-shipment sampling and inspection
- FCL and LCL from Rotterdam / Antwerp
