Hashir Rice Supplier: 1121 Sella and 1121 Steam Basmati for Karachi Buyers

By Muhammad Amir Shahzad • Noor Galla Mandi, Bucheki • November 2, 2026

If you buy rice in Karachi, you have probably had this experience. The sample looks perfect, the rate sounds fair, and then the truck arrives and the bags tell a different story. The grains are broken, the colour is uneven, or the rice simply doesn’t stretch the way you were promised.

We are Hashir Rice Supplier, a rice supplier and broker based in Nankana Sahib, Punjab. We keep our focus narrow on purpose. We deal in two products: 1121 Sella Basmati and 1121 Steam Basmati. We don’t try to sell everything. We try to do these two well.

This post explains who we are, what we offer, and how Karachi buyers can get quality 1121 rice without the usual headaches.

Why Buy Basmati from the Heart of Punjab

Our base in Nankana Sahib sits in Punjab’s Basmati belt, close to Sheikhupura, Hafizabad and Gujranwala. The soil, canal water and climate here suit long-grain Basmati, and the farming families around us have grown paddy for generations.

Being here means we are close to the paddy, the mills and the parboiling units. We know which mills are processing carefully this season and which are rushing the job. That local knowledge is what you pay a broker for, and it is the main reason buyers in Karachi come to us.

Our Rice Range

1121 Sella Basmati

Sella rice is parboiled before milling, which is why the grain is firm, golden and hard to break. 1121 Sella is one of the most popular choices for restaurants, hotels, catering companies and wedding halls. It gives long, separate grains after cooking, even when you are making food in large quantities.

Why buyers like it:

  • Extra-long grain that stretches well when cooked
  • Very low breakage, even in big pots
  • Stays firm and does not turn sticky
  • Strong demand in export and local markets
  • Good for biryani, pulao, zarda and daily bulk cooking

1121 Steam Basmati

Steam rice goes through a lighter steam treatment, which gives you a creamier, whiter grain than Sella while still keeping good strength. It cooks beautifully, looks clean on the plate and suits buyers who want a more refined appearance without losing the length of 1121.

Why buyers like it:

  • Long, elegant grain with a bright, creamy colour
  • Smooth cooking with a pleasant aroma
  • A good middle ground between raw white and golden Sella
  • Preferred by many retailers and premium households
  • Packs well and looks good on the shelf

Not Sure Which One to Pick?

As a rule of thumb, restaurants and caterers who cook in big volumes lean towards Sella for its strength, while shops and families who want a cleaner look often choose Steam. Tell us what you cook and who your customers are, and we will give you an honest suggestion, even if it means recommending the cheaper option.

How Hashir Rice Supplier Works

Most complaints we hear about suppliers come down to a handful of things. So these are the commitments we try to keep.

1. Sample first, always. Check the grain length, colour, broken percentage and cooking quality yourself. What you approve is what we load.

2. Clear information on crop and age. New crop and aged rice cook differently. Aged 1121 cooks drier and more separate, while fresh crop can be a little softer. We tell you exactly what you are getting so there are no surprises in the pot.

3. Honest rates. Rice prices move with the paddy market and the season. We quote the real rate of the day and tell you if we expect prices to rise or settle, so you can plan your purchase.

4. Careful packing and loading. Moisture and rough handling spoil good rice. We make sure bags are properly sealed, stacked and loaded for the long road to Karachi.

5. We pick up the phone after the deal. If something is wrong with a consignment, you should be able to call us directly.

Delivery to Karachi

Karachi is roughly 1,200 kilometres from us, but this is a route that trucks run every day. A consignment usually reaches Karachi within a couple of days, depending on the vehicle and road conditions.

You can send your own truck, or we can arrange transport and handle the loading. Either way, we keep you informed about when the vehicle leaves and when to expect it. We can supply smaller lots for trial orders as well as full truckloads for regular buyers.

Why Work with a Broker Who Knows the Source

Going directly to a mill sounds simple, but a Punjab mill may not want to deal with small orders, and it is hard to judge quality from 1,200 kilometres away. We do that groundwork for you. We compare quality and rates from different sources, match you with the right lot, and stay with the deal until the rice is unloaded in Karachi.

Our aim is simple: you should feel that someone is looking out for your side of the deal.

Who We Supply

  • Wholesalers and dealers in Karachi’s grain markets
  • Retail shops and general stores
  • Restaurants, hotels, caterers and wedding halls
  • Exporters and shipping agents
  • Packaging units and food companies needing steady quality

Whether you buy ten bags a week or ten tons a month, we would rather build a long relationship than make a one-time sale.

The Right Time to Plan Your Purchase

The Punjab paddy harvest runs through October and November, so new-crop rice is now entering the market. This is a good time to compare samples, lock in rates and plan your stock for the coming months. Regular buyers who talk to us early in the season usually get better choice and better pricing.
