Frequently Asked Questions About Our Products and Trading Services

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.

We are a trading business. We work with suitable suppliers — such as millers, processors and traders — to source products against buyer requirements. We do not own farms, mills or processing plants.

Commercial buyers: importers, wholesalers, distributors, supermarket and retail chains, food-service businesses, food manufacturers and private-label customers. See who we work with.

Yes. Ask for product specifications in your enquiry. We provide the parameters that apply to the lot being offered, based on supplier information and any agreed testing.

Trial orders can be discussed. Whether they are practical depends on the product, packing and shipping cost per unit at smaller volumes.

Recurring supply programmes can be discussed. Each shipment's specification, availability and price are confirmed according to the agreed terms.
