Spain has a rich domestic rice-growing tradition — the Valencia region is world-famous for its local varieties used in paella — but the market for imported long-grain and Basmati rice is distinct and driven by different consumer segments. Spain’s large North African community (particularly Moroccan) and growing South Asian diaspora create consistent demand for imported rice varieties that Spanish domestic production does not cover.
HAG Commodities exports 1121 Basmati and Super Kernel Basmati to South Asian specialty importers in Barcelona, Madrid, and Valencia, and IRRI-6 long-grain rice to buyers serving North African and West African wholesale markets. Barcelona is Spain’s largest container port and the natural gateway for most imported rice. Algeciras, at the Strait of Gibraltar, handles high volumes of transshipment cargo. Transit time from Karachi is approximately 20–24 days via the Suez Canal.
All rice exported to Spain must comply with EU food safety regulations and the EU Common External Tariff. HAG provides the full documentation package required for EU customs clearance, including a Certificate of Origin issued by the Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI), Phytosanitary Certificate, and Fumigation Certificate.
