The basmati rice exporter stated: “This is an important breakthrough for GRM since Reliance Retail Limited (JioMart) has very stringent pre-qualification requirements for approval of its suppliers/vendors for purchasing any Products.

“In order to get vendor approval from Reliance Retail Limited (JioMart), the Products must demonstrate the requisite quality and safety standard and must be in compliance with domestic requirements and regulations.”

In the near future, GRM Overseas plans to continue focusing on diversifying from private label basmati rice offerings to high margin own brands, specialized and value-added products, and also in adding value via differentiation of products.
