FAQ
Questions about type 1 rice.
What does type 1 rice mean?
Under the official grading standard of Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture (MAPA), rice is graded from type 1 to 5 based on the number of defects, such as broken, stained or damaged grains. Type 1 is the best quality, with the lowest tolerance limits.
How is the price of a bag of paddy rice set?
The price is traded per 50 kg bag or per tonne and depends on head rice yield, moisture, impurities, variety, supply and demand, and the exchange rate. We explain this in the article The rice machine: how the price of a bag of rice is set.
Is cargo rice the same as brown rice?
Yes. Cargo, husked or brown rice are names for the grain with only the hull removed, keeping the bran layer.
Do you work with buyers and sellers from other countries?
Yes. We broker deals in the domestic market as well as export and import operations, working with specialists in foreign trade and freight.
