Request a QuoteWe offer the full spectrum of Basmati and long-grain rice varieties to match every buyer segment — from premium retail to foodservice and manufacturing applications.
The flagship Basmati variety. Known for the longest grain length of any rice in the world (8.3mm+) and exceptional aroma. Favored for biryani and premium retail.
A premium Pakistani variety with thicker, fuller grains and rich aroma. Extremely popular with Middle Eastern and South Asian retail brands.
A high-yield hybrid Basmati known for excellent elongation and consistent quality. Widely accepted across global markets.
Parboiled Basmati with a golden tint — the grains remain firm and separate after cooking. Highly preferred for foodservice, catering, and commercial kitchens.
Steam-processed Basmati retains a whiter color than Sella while gaining better grain integrity. Popular with premium retail brands.
Unpolished Basmati retaining its natural bran layer — higher in fiber and nutrients. Growing demand in health food and natural grocery channels.
Basmati aged in climate-controlled conditions for at least 12 months. Aging concentrates aroma, reduces moisture, and improves cooking characteristics — the gold standard for connoisseurs.
Classic milled white Basmati — the everyday workhorse. Ideal for volume buyers seeking reliable quality at competitive pricing.
Classic long-grain Basmati following traditional milling standards. Balanced aroma and price for mainstream retail distributors.
Long-grain rice suitable for everyday cooking, foodservice, and institutional buyers. Available in white or parboiled finish.
Both Pakistan and India produce world-class Basmati rice. For US importers, understanding the differences — and current market conditions — helps inform better sourcing decisions.
