Lane · grade notes

Iraq and Yemen
are grade notes.

IRRI-6 points at Iraq. IRRI-9 points at Yemen. Neither line is a desk, a tender, or an aid contract.

Rice illustration for IRRI grade notes

The IRRI-6 note names Iraq. The IRRI-9 note names Yemen. Zarkaar publishes that so a buyer can see which grade was discussed. It is not a live country desk, and it is not an aid or tender award.

Ask before you expect a sailing. A real order still needs a port, a quantity, and a proforma. Bulk IRRI, if it proceeds, starts at 5,000 metric tons. We will not invent a government contract to fill a page.

What a real enquiry contains

Discharge port, white or parboiled, bag or bulk, and who clears. Halal and phyto still apply if the lot ships. A note on a variety page does not reserve a vessel.

What we refuse to imply

We do not claim a humanitarian allocation. We do not claim a ministry approval. Kenya and Tanzania are commercial rice markets on another page. Do not merge them into this note.

A grade note is not a sailing

People search “IRRI-6 Iraq” and “IRRI-9 Yemen” because those names sit on the variety lines. IRRI-6 can be parboiled or white. IRRI-9 is the long-grain white name, and the proforma still confirms which process before the mill run. Broken grain is the commodity spec on the lab sheet, not the 4 percent basmati ceiling.

Neither name is a country desk, a ministry award, or an aid contract. A real enquiry still needs a discharge port, bag or bulk, and who clears. Bulk, if a lot proceeds, starts at about 5,000 metric tons. Kenya and Tanzania are the commercial rice lanes. Do not merge them into this note to make it look like a program.
