Non Basmati Rice: Driving Health and Export Markets Worldwide


Non-basmati rice, in general, refers to all rice varieties that are not basmati rice. There are 10,000 varieties of rice, among which, basmati rice has only 1% contribution. They come in different grain sizes, ranging from short to medium, which becomes sticky in texture after cooking. This is because of the higher amylopectin (a starch type), which makes them soft and fluffy. These are mainly used in making Chinese cuisines (fried rice), Idlis, Dosas, kheer, and others. Not just that, it is also a key commodity in the agri-export industry. 


Here are a few areas where non-basmati rice play a significant role:

BenefitsHow it helps
Weight managementIt contains good carbohydrates and calories that control appetite and help you feel full for a longer period of time, hence keeping those random cravings in check.
Good heart healthBeing rich in Vitamin B and magnesium, they promote cardiovascular health.
Digestive healthIt keeps digestive issues (like constipation) far away, as it is enriched with a lot of fibre, which is easy to digest.
Boosts energyIt has a lot of complex carbohydrates, which are responsible for releasing glucose into the bloodstream.



Expanding Export Opportunities for Non-Basmati Rice Global Trade

Non-basmati rice is a major component in the international trade of the food industry. It is a staple ingredient in kitchens and has extended culinary applications. Globally, India is the largest producer of non-basmati rice. It cultivates various varieties of rice, such as Sona Masuri, IR-64, Ponni, HMT, and others. This, along with Pakistan, Vietnam, and Thailand, exports around 80% of the world's total rice exports. Here are a few factors that increase the export volume of non-basmati rice:

  • High surplus in exporting countries: Did you know that India produces more non-basmati rice than it consumes? Its production in 2024-25 reached around 149-151 MT. The Indian government actively takes some measures to manage this huge production by liberalizing rice exports and also diverting some of it to ethanol production. Other countries like Vietnam also produce non-basmati rice in large amounts and hence are active in its global trade. 

  • Rising global population and consumer demands: The global population is increasing at an accelerated rate, especially in Africa and Asia. And as rice contributes more than 20% to the world's dietary energy needs, and half of daily caloric intake. Population growth is expected to drive a 30% increase in non-basmati rice demand.\

  • Affordability as compared to basmati rice: The non-basmati rice prices are more affordable than basmati and jasmine. Hence, bulk buyers of rice incline more towards non-basmati rice. It is solely because of this that Africa, Asia, and various Middle Eastern countries have switched to consuming more non-basmati rice. 


What Non Basmati Rice Buyers Demand from Suppliers:

There are a few things that buyers of non-basmati rice look for when they trade internationally. As an exporter, you will need to meet those requirements to make a strong presence in the global trade industry. Here are those requirements:
