Cereals are not pulses

Rice, wheat, and maize are cereals. Chickpea, pigeon pea, mung, urad, and lentil are pulses. They are not the same RFQ.

Cereals on this desk are rice, wheat, and maize. They are quoted to grade, packing, and destination. They are not a pulse lot with a different name.

Pulses are chickpea, pigeon pea, mung, urad, and lentil — machine-cleaned, quoted to count, colour, and purity. A request that says “grains” will get a question, not a mixed bag.

Agro lots: one 20-foot container is the standard. Write rice or chickpea, not “food grains”. Hardware quantity sits on the Request for Quote (RFQ).

Green cardamom is not listed. Other Indian lots can be quoted if you name grade, packing, and destination.
