Kainaat 1121 Basmati is Pakistan's flagship extra-long grain variety, valued for exceptional grain elongation, slender uniform kernels, delicate natural aroma, and non-sticky cooking performance. Amal Trade supplies it in Steam, White Sella, Golden Sella, and Raw White forms — cleaned, graded, sortexed, and packed to your specification for importers, wholesalers, retail chains, and food-service buyers worldwide.
What makes 1121 the benchmark grain for biryani houses, premium retail brands, and hospitality kitchens.
The 1121 variety earned its reputation on a single measurable trait: grain elongation. A milled kernel averaging 8.30 mm or more before cooking can extend close to double that length in the pot, and it does so without splitting, breaking, or turning sticky. That behaviour is why the variety became the default choice for biryani and pulao preparation across South Asia and the Gulf.
Kainaat 1121 combines that elongation with a slender, translucent kernel and a soft, natural basmati fragrance — noticeable during cooking without overpowering the dish. Because the grains stay separate and firm after cooking, portions hold their appearance on a buffet line or under a service lamp far longer than shorter-grain alternatives.
Amal Trade sources from established mills in Punjab's rice belt and supplies the variety in four processing forms so buyers can match the grain to their market. Every lot is cleaned, de-stoned, graded, colour-sortexed, and packed under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system. Buyers comparing options may also want to review our full rice export range, which includes PK-386 Super Kernel Basmati and IRRI-6/9 white rice.
Three characteristics that show up in every cooking test importers run before committing to a supplier.
The defining trait of 1121 — kernels extend dramatically during cooking while staying intact, giving the long, elegant grain profile premium dishes are judged on.
Low amylose stickiness means the rice cooks fluffy and grain-separate, holding texture and appearance through service periods in professional kitchens.
Retail pouches through 50 kg bulk bags, with private-label printing, barcodes, and destination-compliant labelling arranged to your brand requirements.
The channels where extra-long grain justifies its premium over standard basmati.
The benchmark grain for layered rice dishes, where visible length and clean separation define the finished plate.
Predictable cooking behaviour batch after batch, so kitchens hit the same result without adjusting water ratios.
Suits branded consumer packs where grain length and aroma are the shelf-facing selling points.
Bulk bag formats for distributors, catering companies, and institutional supply contracts.
A complete specification at enquiry stage means a firm, accurate quotation the same working week.
Published grain-length figures refer to average milled kernel length before cooking, and every commercial lot carries a natural distribution around that average rather than a single fixed value. Cooking elongation also improves with ageing — properly aged rice performs measurably better than fresh-crop material. We state realistic figures for the specific lot being offered and encourage buyers to run a cooking test on the pre-shipment sample before confirming a first order.
The points importers raise most often before placing a first rice order.
Raw is milled without heat treatment and has the softest texture. Steam is briefly steam-treated for firmer grains and lower breakage. White Sella is parboiled before milling for maximum firmness, and Golden Sella is parboiled longer, giving an amber colour and the most robust cooking behaviour.
1121 has the greater grain length and elongation, making it the choice where visible grain size drives the sale. PK-386 Super Kernel offers a stronger aroma and a plumper kernel, which some markets prefer for everyday consumption. Many buyers stock both.
One full container load is standard — approximately 25 to 27 metric tonnes depending on packing format and container type. Trial quantities may be arranged as part of a consolidated shipment for buyers evaluating a long-term programme.
Yes. We pack to buyer artwork in retail pouches and bulk bags, including brand printing, barcodes, nutritional panels, and destination-specific labelling requirements. Artwork should be supplied in print-ready format at the order confirmation stage.
Yes. The paddy crop is harvested between October and December, but milling and supply continue throughout the year from stored paddy — which also improves cooking performance, since aged rice elongates better than fresh-crop material.
Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, and fumigation certificate as standard. Additional certificates required by the destination country can be arranged where applicable.
