Türkiye is both a rice-producing and rice-importing nation with a sophisticated food market that demands a wide range of grain varieties. While domestically grown baldo (round-grain) rice dominates local cooking traditions, long-grain and Basmati rice are steadily gaining share among Istanbul’s cosmopolitan population, the South Asian diaspora, and the hospitality sector. Turkish supermarket chains have significantly expanded their imported rice aisles in recent years.
HAG Commodities exports premium Basmati and long-grain rice directly to Turkish importers and food wholesalers. Mersin Port is the primary entry point for container shipments from Karachi, with a transit time of 12–16 days via the Suez Canal and Eastern Mediterranean. Istanbul and Izmir ports serve importers in north-west Türkiye with similar transit schedules.
All shipments to Türkiye include a Halal Certificate, Phytosanitary Certificate, Fumigation Certificate, and Certificate of Origin. Consumer packs with Turkish-language labelling are available alongside standard 25 kg and 50 kg wholesale bags. HAG also supplies broken-grade rice to Turkish food manufacturers who use rice as a processed food ingredient.
