Who we are
From the spice coast of India to the heart of Arabia.
Bin Shaikh International was founded in 1994 with a clear purpose: to supply Saudi Arabia with rice and spices of genuine quality, sourced honestly and delivered reliably.
Our Indian office in Nilambur, Kerala keeps us close to the origin of what we trade — the mills, the growers and the spice gardens of the Western Ghats. Our head office in Jeddah, with branches in Tabuk and Jazan, keeps us close to the customers we serve.
Today, Basmati rice is at the heart of our business, alongside specialty rice varieties, spices and related food products — many packed under our own Bin Shaikh brand.
Our name is on every bag we sell. That is why we treat every consignment — large or small — as a promise kept to the families and businesses who rely on us.
