Who we are
Your Partner for Agricultural Commodity Trading
We connect commercial buyers with Indian agricultural products — and keep every specification, quantity and term in writing before anything ships.
Assurex International Traders is an India-based trading business focused on a deliberately narrow range of agricultural commodities: Indian red onions, five rice varieties, and four spices — green cardamom, black pepper, nutmeg and mace.
Our model is requirement-led. A buyer tells us what they need — product, grade, quantity, packing and destination — and we coordinate with suitable suppliers to check availability and align the specification before a quotation is issued.
We put clear communication ahead of everything else: what can be confirmed, what still depends on supplier availability, and which terms need to be agreed in the contract. That is how long-term trading relationships are built.

Sourcing
Sourcing Agricultural Commodities with Care
Good sourcing starts with an accurate brief. These are the points we work through with suppliers before a quotation reaches you.
Supplier coordination
We approach suitable suppliers for the product and grade you need and check what can realistically be offered for your timeline.
Product specifications
Size, grade, moisture, admixture, colour or broken percentage — the parameters that matter for your product are listed and agreed in writing.
Quantity requirements
Volumes are matched to what suppliers can confirm, whether you are planning a trial lot or a recurring programme.
Packing discussions
Bag type, net weight, labelling and any private-label artwork are discussed early, because they affect cost and lead time.
Shipment planning
Destination, trade term and documentation needs are mapped so that shipment arrangements match the agreed contract.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Assurex International Traders do?
Assurex International Traders is an India-based international trading business. We handle enquiries from commercial buyers for Indian onions, rice (Vadi Matta, Basmati, IR 64, parboiled and Sona Masoori) and spices (green cardamom, black pepper, nutmeg and mace), and coordinate sourcing, specifications, packing, documents and shipment as agreed.
Are all your products always available?
No. Agricultural products depend on season, crop conditions and supplier stocks. We confirm availability for each enquiry rather than claiming permanent stock.
Do you have a minimum order quantity?
We do not publish a fixed minimum order quantity. It depends on the product, packing and supplier. Tell us your requirement and we will confirm what is practical.
What is the difference between Vadi Matta and Basmati rice?
Vadi Matta is a Kerala red rice with bold, reddish, usually parboiled grains and an earthy flavour. Basmati is a long, slender, aromatic grain that lengthens on cooking. Read Vadi Matta vs Basmati.
Why don't you publish prices on the website?
Agricultural commodity prices change frequently and depend on grade, quantity, packing, trade term, freight and policy. Published prices would quickly become inaccurate, so we quote per enquiry.
What payment terms do you accept?
Payment terms are agreed for each order and written into the contract. We do not assume any standard payment method.
Which export documents are usually provided?
Typically a commercial invoice, packing list, transport document and certificate of origin, plus a phytosanitary certificate for plant products and any test reports required. The list is confirmed per shipment.
