Maati Farms is an India-based export house sourcing Basmati and non-Basmati rice from vetted
Indian mills and suppliers, and managing the full export process — quality checks, export
documentation, and freight — on behalf of buyers in the United States.
Why source Basmati rice from India
India is the world’s largest exporter of rice, and the largest single source of Basmati rice
globally. Basmati rice grown in India’s Indo-Gangetic plains is recognised internationally for its
long grain, distinct aroma, and consistent quality — the reason it remains the benchmark
variety across US grocery, foodservice, and ethnic-food import channels.
What importing into the USA typically requires
US food imports are regulated by the FDA under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), which
generally requires prior notice of food shipments and, depending on the product, FDA facility
registration for the foreign supplier. As an export house, Maati Farms handles the necessary
export-side documentation for each shipment — including certificate of origin and
phytosanitary certification where applicable — alongside the supplier, so the buyer receives
a shipment-ready package rather than having to coordinate compliance paperwork themselves.
Why source through Maati Farms
We source from vetted Indian mills and suppliers rather than reselling through unknown
intermediaries.
We manage quality checks, export documentation, and freight as one coordinated process.
We have shipped to buyers in 65+ countries.
We work with importers, wholesalers, ethnic-food distributors, and retail private-label buyers
