All our rice consignments include the mandatory Certificate of Conformity (CoC), a document issued by an authorised PVoC Agent, such as SGS, guaranteeing the conformity of goods as per KEBS Standards.
How long have you been exporting rice to Kenya, and do you have any local references or testimonials?
We have been exporting quality Pakistani rice to Kenya for several years now. We have built a strong reputation for reliability and quality among our Kenyan customers. Please contact our customer service for testimonials from our esteemed customers.

For first-time customers, all sample requests are subject to a $25 phytosanitary certificate charge. This fee can be deducted from the invoice of your first order with us.

Ordering and Shipping:

What is the estimated delivery time to Mombasa, Kenya?
The estimated transit time to Mombasa, Kenya, is approximately 16 days. However, this might vary depending on the shipping schedule.
Are there any specific shipping restrictions to Mombasa, Kenya?
We adhere to all international and Kenyan shipping regulations and standards. Specific details related to shipping restrictions, if any, would be communicated during the order placement process.
Why do you recommend specific minimum order quantities for rice shipments to Kenya?
Our recommended minimum order quantities - 7 x 20' FCLs (~150 metric tons and above) for non-basmati rice and 2 x 20' FCLs (~45-50 metric tons) for basmati rice - are primarily determined by the KEBS certification process. The process of obtaining a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) requires extensive sample testing for the entire shipment. Larger order quantities, therefore, result in a lower per unit CoC cost. This not only optimizes the cost of obtaining KEBS certification but also aids in keeping your landing price competitive. It additionally aids in optimizing shipping and handling costs, offering an overall advantage to our customers.
How can I get a Proforma Invoice for my order?
To get a Proforma Invoice for your order, you simply need to reach out to us with your requirements. Our sales team will then provide you with a Proforma Invoice detailing the product information, pricing, and payment terms.
Do you provide delivery services to locations beyond Mombasa?
After the shipment of the consignment, we share a scanned copy of all shipment documents by email with the customer. The customer is then requested to clear the balance payment. Once the balance payment is received, the original documents are couriered out via a top courier company to the address as per the buyer's instructions.

Payment and Pricing:

What are the accepted payment methods?
We accept several payment methods for the convenience of our customers. These include bank transfers, Letters of Credit (LCs), and other widely accepted international payment methods. Details would be provided in the Proforma Invoice.
How does the balance payment process work?
After the shipment of the consignment, we share a scanned copy of all shipment documents by email with the customer. The customer is then requested to clear the balance payment. Once the balance payment is received, the original documents are couriered out via a top courier company to the address as per the buyer's instructions.
How does the KEBS certification and the process of obtaining a Certificate of Conformity (CoC) impact the pricing of your rice exports to Kenya?
The cost of obtaining a Certificate of Conformity (CoC), a requirement of KEBS certification, is dependent on the quantity of the order. The CoC process requires comprehensive sample testing for the entire shipment, examining aspects like pesticide residues, heavy metals, aflatoxins, and other microbiological parameters as stipulated by KEBS. Thus, a larger order quantity significantly reduces the cost per unit for obtaining the CoC. This is why we advise a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 7 x 20' FCLs, approximately 150 metric tons and above, for non-basmati rice and 2 x 20' FCLs, approximately 45-50 metric tons, for basmati rice. Adhering to these MOQs helps ensure that the customer's landing price remains competitive.

Quality Assurance and Certifications:

Do you provide Certificates of Conformity (CoC) for the rice consignments?
Yes, all our rice consignments shipped to Mombasa include the mandatory Certificate of Conformity (CoC). This is a mandatory document for customs clearance in Kenya, issued by an authorised PVoC Agent prior to shipment.
What is the Certificate of Conformity (CoC) and why is it important?
The Certificate of Conformity (CoC) is a mandatory document for Customs Clearance in Kenya. It is issued by an authorized Pre-Export Verification of Conformity (PVoC) Agent, such as Intertek, and it certifies that the products comply with the relevant Kenyan technical regulations and approved international/regional/national standards. The CoC assures the Kenyan Customs that our rice products meet the necessary import regulations and quality standards.
How do you ensure the rice exports meet the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) quality guidelines?
We follow a strict quality control process that aligns with KEBS standards. Before the shipment, the rice undergoes a rigorous inspection and testing procedure to ensure its quality, safety, and compliance with Kenyan standards. This process is carried out by renowned inspection agencies and we make sure to meet all the KEBS criteria for importing rice to Kenya.
What if the CoC is not available at the time of customs clearance in Kenya?
The CoC is mandatory for customs clearance in Kenya, and the absence of this document can lead to delays, extra charges, and possible rejection of the shipment by customs. Therefore, we make sure that the CoC is available well before the shipment reaches Kenya.
How do you deal with any quality issues or non-compliance during the PVoC inspection?
In the unlikely event of any quality issues or non-compliance detected during the PVoC inspection, we take immediate action to address these concerns. Depending on the nature of the issue, this may involve enhancing our production process, changing the way the rice is handled, or even replacing the affected rice. We are committed to delivering only the highest quality rice to our customers in Kenya.
