Ireland’s food import market has changed substantially over the past two decades as the country has become considerably more ethnically diverse. The Pakistani, Indian, and Bangladeshi communities in Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Galway create reliable demand for authentic Pakistani Basmati rice. South Asian grocery stores in Dublin’s Parnell Street corridor and surrounding areas, halal food retailers, and Pakistani and Indian restaurants are consistent buyers of 1121 Basmati and Super Kernel Basmati.
HAG Commodities exports directly to Irish food importers and distributors. Shipments from Karachi arrive at Dublin Port — Ireland’s primary container gateway — in approximately 22–26 days via the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean, and around the British Isles. Cork Port (Ringaskiddy terminal) serves buyers in Munster and the south-west.
As an EU member, Ireland applies EU food safety regulations under EFSA and EU Common External Tariff to all rice imports. HAG provides the complete EU documentation set, including a Certificate of Origin issued by the Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI), Phytosanitary Certificate, and Fumigation Certificate. Following Brexit, Ireland has also become a more important EU entry point for certain trans-Atlantic cargo.
