FAQ
Mauritania import FAQs
100% broken rice cooks faster, absorbs sauces better, and has a softer texture suited to local preparations including cherchem and thiebou djeun. It is the cultural staple, not a substitute or downgrade.
Certificate of Origin (KCCI-issued) and Certificate of Fumigation are the minimum. Most buyers also request SGS Container Cleanliness inspection at loading, billed to the buyer.
