Direct Answer: FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India) sets mandatory quality benchmarks for rice exported from India, covering moisture, broken grains, foreign matter, and pesticide residue limits.
Key FSSAI standards for rice export include:
- Moisture content: Maximum 14%
- Broken grains: Permissible limit varies by grade (typically 5–25%)
- Foreign matter: Must not exceed 0.1%
- Pesticide residues: Must comply with MRL (Maximum Residue Limits)
- Uric acid & heavy metals: Strictly within permissible limits
In addition to FSSAI, rice exporters must comply with APEDA (Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority) registration and destination country-specific standards such as EU regulations or African import requirements.
Amoli International ensures full FSSAI and APEDA compliance across all non-basmati rice exports including IR64 Parboiled and White rice maintaining trust and regulatory confidence with global buyers.
