Sella (parboiled) and steam describe processing, not rice varieties. - [Basmati: 1121, 1509 or Pusa](https://tgkagro.com/products/basmati-rice/) Specify white, sella (parboiled) or steam separately from the variety. - [Non-basmati: IR64, Sona Masoori, Swarna or PR11](https://tgkagro.com/products/non-basmati-rice/) Specify raw white or parboiled, plus the broken-grain percentage: 5%, 10%, 25% or 100%. ### Specify the basmati combination you need - 1121 white sella: request 1121 with white sella (parboiled) processing; do not use “white” alone, which can be confused with raw white rice. - 1121 golden sella: request 1121 with golden sella (parboiled) processing; keep golden and white sella distinct in the enquiry. - 1509 steam: request the 1509 variety with steam processing, not sella. These names identify requirements, not confirmed stock. For either rice category, shared published specification ranges do not substitute for confirmed variety, processing and lot specifications. Confirm the exact offered combination, grade and lot specification in the quotation before ordering. The rice price page is a non-basmati market reference, not a basmati price or a quotation for your exact specification.
