Rice, Pulses, and Grains Export Series : 1 September 2026
Dubai remains a strategic wholesale market for rice, pulses, and grains. Supermarkets, restaurants, retailers, catering operators, and wholesale distributors require dependable supply, consistent specifications, compliant documentation, and efficient distribution.
For exporters of Pusa Basmati 1718 Rice, Urad Dal, and Maize, the principal commercial challenge is not only securing a product. It is establishing a reliable route from origin to verified UAE buyers.
Mayil Global provides that route through two commercial models:
- A transparent 3% commission-based distribution model for international and local exporters.
- An Immediate Cash & Carry container purchase option for approved shipments requiring faster liquidity.
Mayil Global operates as a UAE wholesale supplier and distribution partner. Its supply chain combines global sourcing, quality control, hygienic handling, organized logistics, and B2B distribution across the UAE.
Dubai B2B Demand for Rice, Pulses, and Grains
Dubai’s food distribution network depends on regular international sourcing. Basmati rice supports retail, restaurant, catering, and hospitality demand. Urad Dal is used extensively by South Asian households, restaurants, foodservice operators, and packaged food businesses. Maize serves both food-grade and feed-grade channels, depending on processing and buyer requirements.
The market requires:
- Container-scale supply.
- Predictable quality and product specifications.
- Retail and wholesale packaging options.
- Accurate export and import documentation.
- Timely delivery through organized logistics.
- Reliable replenishment for recurring business demand.
The latest UAE export news and Al Aweer market updates also demonstrate the importance of origin diversification, verified trade relationships, and dependable distribution channels in the UAE.
For exporters searching for a verified buyer for exporters UAE, Mayil Global offers a structured local point of contact for product review, buyer coordination, and wholesale distribution.
Product Specifications for Dubai Wholesale Buyers
Final specifications must be confirmed in the purchase contract. The following parameters provide a practical commercial baseline for evaluating export-ready lots.
Pusa Basmati 1718 Rice
Pusa Basmati 1718 is supplied in raw, steam, and Sella or parboiled formats. The exact processing format should be confirmed before quotation because it affects cooking performance, appearance, pricing, and buyer suitability.
A commercial specification may include:
- Variety: Pusa Basmati 1718.
- Processing: Raw, steam, or Sella.
- Purity: Approximately 92–95%, depending on grade and contract.
- Average raw grain length: Approximately 7.8–8.2 mm, subject to origin and lot.
- Cooked elongation: Approximately 2.3–2.5 times the raw grain length.
- Moisture: Generally a maximum of 12–12.5%.
- Broken grains: Typically 0–2%, with premium lots often specified at 1% or lower.
- Foreign matter: Nil or within a very low agreed tolerance.
- Damaged or discoloured grains: Normally limited to approximately 1%.
- Packaging: 5 kg, 10 kg, 25 kg, or 50 kg bags, according to retail, foodservice, or wholesale requirements.
Dubai buyers may request PP woven bags, laminated bags, jute bags, or private-label packaging. Labels should identify the variety, processing type, net weight, country of origin, batch information, dates, storage conditions, and importer details.
Mayil Global’s bulk rice guidance explains how a transparent commission structure can improve cost visibility for exporters and wholesale buyers.
Urad Dal : Black Gram
Urad Dal, also known as black gram, can be offered as whole black gram or as cleaned and split dal. Buyers should specify whether they require polished or unpolished product.

- Product type: Food-grade maize, feed-grade maize, yellow maize, or another agreed variety.
- Moisture: Generally 13–14% maximum.
- Foreign matter: Commonly maintained within a 1–2% maximum range.

Mayil Global’s Transparent 3% Commission Model
Mayil Global’s 3 percent commission distributor UAE model provides exporters with a clear route into the Dubai wholesale market without requiring them to build a separate UAE sales and distribution operation.
Under an agreed written arrangement, Mayil Global supports:
- Buyer identification and commercial coordination.
- Product and specification review.
- UAE B2B distribution.
- Shipment and delivery coordination.
- Market feedback and replenishment planning.
- Communication between exporters and wholesale buyers.
The commission is calculated transparently on the agreed sale value.
Illustrative USD Example
If the applicable sale value is USD 75,000:
- Sale value: USD 75,000
- Commission rate: 3%
- Mayil Global commission: USD 2,250
- Balance before other agreed costs or deductions: USD 72,750
This example is for illustration only. The final agreement should define the commission basis, payment timing, responsibilities, logistics costs, inspection charges, customs costs, and any other commercial deductions.
The model gives exporters predictable distribution costs while giving UAE buyers a more structured supply relationship. The objective remains dependable supply, consistent quality, and long-term B2B development.
Immediate Cash & Carry Container Purchase
Some exporters require immediate settlement rather than commission-based distribution. Mayil Global therefore offers an Immediate Cash & Carry container purchase option for suitable, export-ready shipments.
This option is designed for exporters with:
- A ready 20-foot or 40-foot container.
- Confirmed product specifications and quantity.
- Export-compliant documentation.
- Food-grade packaging and labelling.
- Clear product ownership and commercial terms.
- A shipment that passes agreed inspection and receiving conditions.
A 20-foot dry container may commonly carry approximately 24–27 metric tonnes of rice, pulses, or maize, depending on product density, bag size, and loading configuration. The final loading plan must be confirmed by the exporter, freight provider, and buyer.
Cash & Carry purchasing can help exporters:
- Access working capital faster.
- Reduce extended receivable exposure.
- Fund the next production or shipment cycle.
- Convert ready inventory into a direct UAE transaction.
- Transfer local distribution responsibility to Mayil Global.
The commission model supports ongoing market access. The Cash & Carry option supports direct liquidity. Exporters can select the structure that matches their operational and financial requirements.

4. Maintaining hygienic handling
Rice, pulses, and maize are packed and handled using food-safe procedures designed to prevent contamination, moisture exposure, pest damage, and packaging failure.
