Size is not the only factor that determines product suitability. Buyers should also consider quality specifications, colour, moisture, broken kernels, packaging, quantity and destination requirements.

For Larger Kernel Presentation
Buyers who specifically want larger whole kernels may consider W240, particularly for premium presentation.
For Retail Packaging
Both grades can be considered for retail products. The right selection depends on the product’s positioning, target customer, package size and pricing.
For Bulk or Export
Bulk and export buyers should discuss the exact specification, quantity, packaging, destination and commercial terms with their supplier before placing an order.
