Pakistani KS-282 Long Grain Rice Supplier for Importers and Caterers
Punjab-Grown and Colour Sortexed, Supplied White, Sella or Brown
Wholesale by the Container, or From Our Stock in Qatar
KS-282 White, Sella and Brown, Grown in Punjab
We own every tonne of KS-282 Long Grain Rice we sell. It is bought direct from milling groups across the Punjab and held at our own warehouse at Al Wakra, so a buyer in Qatar takes it off cleared stock. Everywhere else it ships by the container to your port with the freight paid, or to your door where we hold local clearance: the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman, Turkey and the Levant, North Africa and Europe. One named contact handles the enquiry, the sample, the contract and the container.
What KS-282 Long Grain Rice Is, and Where It Grows
Bred at Kala Shah Kaku in 1982, Grown Across the Punjab Rice Belt
KS-282 Long Grain Rice is a non-basmati long grain white rice bred at the Rice Research Institute at Kala Shah Kaku and released in 1982. The KS in the name is Kala Shah. It was developed in Pakistan, for Pakistani fields, by the institute that has bred most of what the country grows.
It grows across the Punjab rice belt, in the same districts that grow the basmati: Gujranwala, Hafizabad, Gujrat and Mandi Bahauddin. Punjab is where Pakistan’s fine rice comes from, and KS-282 is the coarse variety that shares those fields, that soil and that river water. It is a Punjab grain in a way the IRRI varieties, which belong to Sindh, are not.
That origin shows in the bag. KS-282 mills to a clean white long grain and cooks soft and fluffy with the grains staying separate. It is a generous-looking grain in the bowl, and it stays neutral enough to carry whatever the kitchen puts on it.
It is its own variety and it sits on its own page here. IRRI-6 and IRRI-9 are separate grains that TEFT supplies separately, each with its own specification and its own markets.
What that combination buys a kitchen is a rice that looks right on a service line and behaves the same way in volume as it did in the sample. That is why KS-282 Long Grain Rice moves through food service and contract catering, and why it is the everyday grain in accommodation kitchens across the Gulf.
The Three Forms of KS-282 Long Grain Rice We Supply
White From Stock, Sella and Brown Against a Mill Run
The variety is one thing and the form is another. KS-282 Long Grain Rice reaches a buyer milled white, parboiled as sella, or brown with the bran left on, and the three cook, keep and price differently.
KS-282 White Rice
The standard mill: double silky polished, colour sortexed and bright white. This is the form that moves through wholesale and distribution and the form held in Qatar stock at Al Wakra. Supplied at 5% broken as standard, with 10%, 15% and 25% to order.
KS-282 Sella Rice (Parboiled)
Steamed in the husk before milling, which hardens the grain so it holds through a long service and a reheat. Caterers running hot service take KS-282 sella where white would soften. A pale gold grain, firmer in the pot, and slower to cook.
KS-282 Brown Rice
Hulled but not polished, so the bran layer stays on the KS-282 grain and with it the nuttier flavour and the shorter shelf life. Supplied by arrangement against a booking rather than from stock, because it is a smaller line and the mills run it to order.
Not Sure Which Form You Need?
Tell us the dish, the service and the destination and we will say which one fits. We will send samples of two forms so the kitchen decides on the bowl in front of it rather than on a description, and there is no charge for the samples or the courier.
What KS-282 Long Grain Rice Does on the Plate
How It Looks, How It Cooks, How It Fills the Tray
A camp kitchen cooking KS-282 Long Grain Rice for several hundred covers wants it bright out of the pot, loose enough to scoop an hour later, and mild enough to sit under whatever goes on top. It wants the next container to do the same.
KS-282, Clean White in the Bowl
Double silky polished and colour sortexed, so KS-282 Long Grain Rice plates bright white with no grey cast and no stray discoloured grains. On a buffet line under service lighting that is what a guest reads as quality, long before anyone tastes it.
Neutral Enough to Carry Any Seasoning
KS-282 Long Grain Rice tastes clean and stays out of the way of the dish around it. A stir-fry, a braise or a curry lands on the plate exactly as the kitchen made it, which is why it is the everyday grain behind so much restaurant fried rice.
Grains That Stay Separate
Cooked properly, KS-282 Long Grain Rice comes up soft and fluffy with the grains holding apart rather than knitting into a block. That matters most at scale, where rice is portioned with a scoop hours after it left the pot and has to still fall loose.
KS-282, Volume Out of the Pot
KS-282 Long Grain Rice swells well and fills a tray, which is the number a contract caterer actually costs against. Ask us for the cooked yield on the exact grade you are quoting and we will give you the mill figure rather than an estimate.
KS-282 Long Grain Rice — Product Specification
Twenty Measures, Checked at Intake and Again at Loading
Every consignment of KS-282 Long Grain Rice ships with a certificate of analysis against the figures below. Where a figure is a maximum we hold the mills to it; where it is a range we state the range rather than the flattering end of it.

Broken grain is the figure that moves the price on KS-282 Long Grain Rice. Five per cent is the standard mill and what a retail or hospitality buyer should be taking; 25% is a staple grade and it is bought knowingly, not by accident. Tell us the grade you want quoted and we will quote that grade, not the one that flatters the number.
The aroma row reads none, and that is the honest entry for this grain. Some sellers list a light fragrance against KS-282, so a kitchen ordering on that expects one thing and receives another. What KS-282 Long Grain Rice gives is a clean neutral base, and every figure above is checkable against the certificate that travels with the container.
Why Buyers Choose KS-282 Long Grain Rice
Four Reasons a Buyer Orders the Second Container
KS-282 Long Grain Rice is bought on what stays the same from one container to the next. A kitchen that has set its water ratio to this grain does not want to reset it in March.
One Variety in Every Bag
What is in the bag is KS-282 and it is 95% pure to the variety, colour sortexed and stated on the certificate. A blended coarse lot cooks differently from batch to batch, and a kitchen working to a fixed water ratio finds that out the hard way.
KS-282 A Named Punjab Origin
KS-282 Long Grain Rice comes off the Punjab rice belt and we name the milling groups on request. Origin is not decoration on a coarse grade — it holds the grain steady through a crop change instead of buying whatever cleared the market that week.
Already Landed and Cleared in Qatar
KS-282 Long Grain Rice is bought, landed and cleared into Qatar before anyone orders it, so a Doha buyer is choosing a delivery date rather than a mill run. Export buyers draw on the same mill contracts and the same grade, booked by the container.
The Same Person, Start to Finish
One contact in Doha takes the KS-282 enquiry, sends the samples, issues the contract and tells you where the container is. Nothing is handed to a desk that has never seen your order or your market. How to judge a supplier sets out the rest.
Who We Supply KS-282 Long Grain Rice To
Six Kinds of Buyer, Six Different Bags and Terms
Importers and Distributors
Full container loads of KS-282 Long Grain Rice in 25kg and 50kg woven sacks, booked against a schedule so your warehouse is never waiting. Documents travel with the goods and container wholesale sets out the terms.
Wholesalers and Cash and Carry
Mixed pallets of KS-282 Long Grain Rice in 5kg, 10kg and 20kg bags that move off a cash and carry aisle, topped up from Qatar stock rather than a season ahead. Small, frequent and predictable is the pattern we build around.
Hotels and Restaurants
20kg and 25kg sacks of KS-282 Long Grain Rice delivered on a standing weekly or fortnightly order, so nobody in the kitchen is counting bags on a Thursday night. Hospitality supply covers how the account runs.
Camp and Contract Caterers
40kg and 50kg sacks of KS-282 Long Grain Rice against a fixed-term contract at a held price, which is how a catering budget survives a crop change rather than absorbing it. Food service supply sets out the terms.
Own-Brand Packers and Repackers
KS-282 Long Grain Rice packed under your own artwork in your own bag sizes, printed at the mill before the rice goes into the bag rather than relabelled afterwards. Private label supply covers artwork and approvals.
Food Manufacturers
KS-282 Long Grain Rice supplied as an input on a repeat schedule, with the same variety and the same mill behind every delivery. A production plan cannot absorb a grain that behaves differently intake to intake.
Where We Supply KS-282 Long Grain Rice
Eighteen Countries Across the Gulf, the Levant, North Africa and Europe
What changes from one KS-282 Long Grain Rice market to the next is the bag, the broken grade and the paperwork the port asks for.
Qatar and the Gulf (GCC)
KS-282 Long Grain Rice is already imported and cleared at Al Wakra, so a buyer in Doha takes part loads off stock in 5kg to 50kg bags with no clearance to do. Camp kitchens take the 50kg sacks and hotels take 20kg. Saudi Arabia goes through Dammam, Riyadh and Jeddah, to the port or door.
The United Arab Emirates
Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi take KS-282 Long Grain Rice at 5% and 10% broken in 25kg and 50kg sacks, both for the emirates themselves and for onward re-export through Jebel Ali. The UAE rice market buys on steady repeat monthly volume rather than seasonally.
Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman
Shuwaikh, Khalifa Bin Salman and Sohar take KS-282 Long Grain Rice in 25kg and 50kg sacks, mostly into catering and institutional supply rather than retail shelves. Volumes are steady rather than large, so part-container consolidation is usually the way to buy.
Turkey, Jordan and Syria
Mersin, Aqaba, Latakia and Beirut take KS-282 Long Grain Rice as white at 5% and as sella, in 25kg and 50kg sacks. The eastern Mediterranean buys on appearance and on a clean certificate, and it is a market where the parboiled line moves as well as the white.
Libya and Egypt
Misrata, Tripoli, Alexandria and Damietta take KS-282 Long Grain Rice in 25kg and 50kg woven sacks, often under a local packer's own brand. North Africa buys long white rice in volume and it wants the grain bright, sortexed and consistent from one bag to the next.
The UK and Europe
Felixstowe, Rotterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg take KS-282 Long Grain Rice in printed 5kg, 10kg and 20kg retail bags for South Asian grocery and for food service. European buyers test against pesticide residue limits, so lots bound for Europe are screened before they load.
KS-282 Long Grain Rice Packing and Private Label
Four Pack Tiers, or Your Own Bag
KS-282 Long Grain Rice is packed to the bag the destination actually sells in, from a retail shelf pack up to a trade sack a caterer lifts once a day.
5kg and 10kg Retail Bags
Printed non-woven or laminated bags for a supermarket shelf and a grocery aisle. This is the tier that carries KS-282 Long Grain Rice into retail, and artwork, language and declarations are set before the run starts.
20kg and 25kg Catering Sacks
The working sack for a hotel, a restaurant and a busy kitchen store. A 25kg bag of KS-282 Long Grain Rice is the standard trade unit into most of these destinations and it is what a chef can move without a trolley.
40kg and 50kg Trade Sacks
PP woven or jute for accommodation catering, institutional kitchens and onward re-bagging. This is the tier that fills a container of KS-282 Long Grain Rice most efficiently and it carries the lowest cost per tonne landed.
Full Container Loads
A 20ft container takes 25 to 27 tonnes net of KS-282 Long Grain Rice in 50kg bags. Mixed loads across two bag sizes are straightforward; mixed loads across two forms are booked against the mill run rather than off stock.
Your Own Brand on the Bag
KS-282 Long Grain Rice packed under your artwork at the mill. Print sits at the front of the lead time because the bag is made before the rice goes into it, so approve artwork early. Private label supply covers the rest.
KS-282 Quality, Inspection and the Certificate of Conformity
Checked at the Mill, KS-282 Is Checked Again Before It Sails
Four figures matter most on KS-282 Long Grain Rice, and they are the four we hold the mills to:
95% Pure KS-282
Varietal purity, checked at intake and again after sortex. Below this the bag is a blend and KS-282 Long Grain Rice stops cooking to a predictable water ratio.
14% Maximum Moisture
Above this the KS-282 rice sweats in the bag and it is finished long before a container has sold through in Misrata or Mersin. A maximum, not a target, measured at the bag.
5% To 25% Broken
The grade is milled to order and stated on every batch. A retail bag of KS-282 needs 5%; a bulk tender priced on landed cost will take 25% and know exactly why.
Double Silky Polished
The polish is what gives KS-282 Long Grain Rice its bright white finish in the bowl. Under-milled grain looks grey on a service line and no seasoning hides it.
Sortex Is Where a Cheap Bag of KS-282 Gives Itself Away
A colour sortex reads every grain as it falls and blows out the ones that are the wrong colour — chalky whites, ambers, yellows and anything that is not rice at all. On KS-282 Long Grain Rice it protects the thing a kitchen is actually buying, because this grade is chosen for how it plates: a bright white grain under service lighting has nowhere to hide a discoloured neighbour, and a chef trying it against basmati for the first time will see the specks before he tastes anything. Ours is double silky polished and colour sortexed, and the chalky and discoloured figures are on the certificate of analysis.
We hold the mills to those figures and check every lot against a reference sample before it is bagged. Moisture is checked on arrival at the mill and again at the bag, because moisture is what turns a good lot into a claim six weeks later in a Misrata or Alexandria warehouse. Crop year is recorded on every batch and stated to you, not left as subject to availability, and what the Pakistani certifications actually cover is set out in our note on rice certifications for GCC buyers. In Qatar the stock is kept under cover at Al Wakra and rotated first in, first out.
The Certificate Your Country Asks For on KS-282 Rice
Several destinations will not release a container of KS-282 Long Grain Rice without a pre-export certificate raised in Pakistan before the vessel sails, and it has to be in the documents when the container lands. Egypt and Libya both work this way, and without it a container can be held at the port or fined. Saudi Arabia runs its own route instead, built around product registration before the first shipment and Arabic labelling on retail packs, which is a different lead time rather than a lighter one. Turkey adds its own import controls on rice on top of the certificate. None of it can be fixed at the destination end once the rice has sailed. We arrange whichever applies as part of the shipment rather than leaving it with you, and the cost sits inside the price we quote. Tell us the destination country at enquiry and we will tell you which one you need and what it adds.
Independent Inspection Before It Sails
You do not have to take our word for the KS-282 Long Grain Rice specification. SGS, Cotecna, Intertek and Bureau Veritas all work at Pakistani ports, and any of them can attend the loading, draw their own samples and report on quality, quantity and weight before the container leaves. You appoint them and you pay them, and that is the point: the report is written to you, not to us. It is issued against the figures on this page rather than a general description of long grain rice, and buyers taking a first container from us often do this once and then never again.
What Travels With Every Container of KS-282 Rice
Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, certificate of analysis, phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate, halal certificate and the mill test sheet for your own KS-282 lot, showing what your rice actually measured rather than what the grade generally measures — plus the destination conformity certificate where the market requires one. If your bank or your border wants a document that is not on that list, ask before the container is booked. Adding one afterwards means the rice waits at the port at your cost until it is sorted out, and that gets expensive quickly.
Our partner mills operate under internationally recognised food safety and quality management systems, and are active members of the Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan (REAP), complying with Pakistan Standards & Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) requirements. The certificate for the mill behind your KS-282 Long Grain Rice is available on request.

What Turns a KS-282 Long Grain Rice Enquiry Into a Price
Five Answers and We Can Quote the Same Day
KS-282 Long Grain Rice is quoted per metric tonne, and the number moves with the form, the broken grade, the bag and where it is going.
The Form
White, sella or brown. It is the single biggest move on a KS-282 Long Grain Rice price, it decides which mill run your container comes off, and it is the first thing we ask because the rest depends on the answer.
The Broken Grade
5%, 10%, 15% or 25%. Quote us the one your market actually sells rather than the tightest one on the list, because a tighter KS-282 specification than you need is money handed over for nothing.
The Bag
From a 5kg printed retail bag to a 50kg woven sack, and whether your own artwork goes on it. Printed bags are made before the KS-282 rice goes in, so the answer moves the schedule. See packaging requirements.
The Destination
The country and the port or the door, because freight, certificates and clearance all follow from it. Tell us where the KS-282 Long Grain Rice is going rather than only which port it passes through on the way.
The Volume and the Frequency
A one-off container and a standing monthly order are different prices on KS-282 Long Grain Rice, and we would much rather quote the second. Tell us what you expect to move across a year, even roughly.
