Every Pavana Global consignment ships with the full regulatory paper trail required by international rice trade. Below is the complete list of certifications we hold or provide on a per-shipment basis.
These are the credentials we carry as an organisation. They authorise us to export, certify our compliance with Indian food-safety regulation, and signal our standing with international buyers.
Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority — the statutory body under the Ministry of Commerce that authorises the export of scheduled agricultural products from India, including non-basmati rice.
Pavana Global is a registered exporter on the APEDA portal. Registration is mandatory for any party wishing to export rice from India.
Our procurement and partner mills operate under FSSAI-compliant facilities. This ensures hygiene, sanitation, and food-safety practices meet the standards prescribed by India's national food regulator.
FSSAI compliance covers raw material handling, milling, cleaning, packaging, and storage — the full chain from paddy to packed bag.
These documents are issued or arranged for each individual shipment. They are required by destination customs and protect the buyer against quality and biosecurity risks.
Confirms that the consignment has been inspected by Indian plant-quarantine officials and is free of regulated pests and diseases. Required by virtually every importing country for plant-origin commodities.
Documents that the cargo has been fumigated (typically with phosphine or methyl bromide where applicable) prior to container stuffing. Mandatory for many destinations including Australia, EU, and select Gulf countries.
Official document certifying the country of manufacture/cultivation. Required for customs clearance and to claim preferential duty rates under bilateral trade agreements where applicable.
Lab analysis of the dispatched consignment — broken percentage, moisture content, foreign matter, admixture, and specification compliance. Issued before container stuffing.
Some markets and buyer profiles require additional certifications beyond the standard documentation set. We arrange these on a per-order basis at the buyer's cost.
Independent inspection by an internationally recognised agency, conducted at the loading port before container stuffing. Verifies grade, weight, packaging, and documentation against the contract.
Pesticide residue testing against the European Union's Maximum Residue Level standards. Required by EU importers and increasingly by UK, Japan, and other premium markets.
Issued for shipments to Gulf and Southeast Asian markets where halal compliance is required for food products. Although rice is inherently halal, the certification confirms the supply chain has not been contaminated.
Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Points — a systematic preventive approach to food safety. Our procurement chain is built around HACCP principles, and formal HACCP-certified mill consignments are available for buyers requiring the documentation.
