Non-Basmati Rice

Non-basmati rice dominates the volume segment of global rice trade, supplying institutional buyers, traders and retail brands in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. Exporters on this page offer a wide spectrum of non-basmati varieties, from parboiled long-grain rice used in large tender programmes to medium-grain and broken rice for price-sensitive markets and industrial applications. Buyers include government agencies, trading houses, private-label brands and food-service distributors.

Typical specifications for non-basmati rice cover grain length, broken percentage, chalkiness, milling quality, polishing level, moisture and foreign-matter tolerance. Exporters can supply raw, steamed or parboiled rice depending on target cuisine and cooking characteristics. Packaging options range from bulk containers and 50 kg bags to consumer packs in various sizes with customised branding, artwork and labelling in local languages.

Logistics are a central part of non-basmati rice procurement, with exporters organising container or break-bulk shipments under agreed Incoterms. Many suppliers are experienced in handling large governmental and institutional tenders, ensuring on-time deliveries and full compliance with documentation requirements. Certifications such as ISO, HACCP and, where relevant, halal or organic, support access to regulated markets and modern retail channels.
