Basmati Rice in Global Trade: World’s Most Scented White Pearl

Rice can be of three major types - short grain, medium grain, and long grain. Basmati rice belongs to the long-grain variety of rice. It is because of this and its pleasant aroma that basmati rice is known as "the white pearl". Its fragrance and delicate flavor give basmati rice the title of "Queen of Fragrance". This fragrance is present in basmati rice because of the presence of the 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline chemical. It has a prime position among the 5,000 varieties of rice present all over the world.  Visually, basmati rice is no different from any other varieties of rice, but once you take a sniff of it, you will notice how greatly it is different from others. 

It has 2 major varieties - white basmati rice and brown basmati rice. The latter one has more fiber and has an intense flavor as compared to the white one. It is used as a key ingredient in a variety of mouth-watering cuisines like biryani, pulao, Kitchari, Tahdig (Persian Rice), and others. The cultivation of basmati rice originated in the Indian subcontinent, specifically in the Himalayan foothills regions. Other than India, it is also cultivated in Pakistan, Nepal, and other countries. The earliest reference to basmati rice can be found in the tragic romance of "Heer Ranjha" - a famous Punjabi folktale by Waris Shah. 



What Boosts the Global Trade Industry of Basmati Rice

As mentioned above, Basmati rice originated in India, and it is still widely cultivated in various states of India and contributes to 70% of the total basmati rice production. It is also important to note that India contributes about one-third of the world's acreage dedicated to basmati rice production. The cultivation has now spread to other parts of the world as well. For instance, the US has started producing two varieties of basmati rice - Texmati and Kasmati.  All the varieties of basmati rice consist of varying nutritional benefits. That is one of the primary reasons why there is a surge in the market for basmati rice. The nutritional profile of basmati rice protects us against a lot of diseases and has a lot of other health benefits.

Let's discuss those in depth: 

What Basmati Rice Does

How It Does

Strengthens the body's immunity and supports nervous system

It is rich in vitamin B, magnesium, selenium, and has a lot of antioxidant elements. 

Reduces the risk of heart and vascular diseases


Preventing the formation of harmful fat around the arteries, it finds a way to stop the discharge of cholesterol inside them.

Can be included in the diet of diabetic patients

According to the Diabetes Association of Canada, basmati rice has a good amount of fiber, amylase, starchy carbs, and protein. All of these are responsible for its lower glycemic index. 

Manages weight

Unlike other varieties of rice, basmati rice slows the digestion process and keeps you full for a longer period, hence saving you from all the unwanted cravings. Consuming boiled basmati rice instead of traditional ones helps people achieve their dream weight a lot faster.



Recent Trends in the Global Trade Industry of Basmati Rice and What It Means for Exporters

The trend in the global trade industry keeps changing for basmati rice, and as an exporter, you must understand all those trends. It helps you make the necessary changes to your own exporting company to become relevant to the global audience and grow your business. Some of the recent trends in the global trade industry of basmati rice along with what necessary exporters need to take in accordance with those are as follows:

Global Market Trend

What Exporters Need to Do

There has been a recent blending trend, because of which you can now mix your basmati rice with similar-looking varieties like Sharbati rice, Pusa rice, and others. It is mostly done by mixing expensive and less expensive rice, so the consumers can have a taste of premium rice like long-grain basmati rice by spending a little less. 

This is a great advantage for exporters, as they can now include mixed basmati rice in their exporting business and gain significant profit themselves. 


According to the new regulations of FSSAI (implemented since 1 August 2023), there should not be artificial fragrance, color, or polish present in basmati rice. Furthermore, cooking this rice should result in a fluffy texture, and the natural aroma should not be lost in the process. 

Exporters now need to make sure that they are carrying out all the necessary testing and inspections for their basmati rice. Those tests include visual inspection, cooking test, and laboratory analysis. 



DNA fingerprinting based on microsatellite markers (SSRs) has now become a reliable source for checking the authenticity of basmati rice. So, exporters need to make sure that there are no such impurities present in their basmati rice.

To ensure that basmati rice is free of any impurities, exporters need to carry out DNA testing before exporting it internationally. They also need to increase transparency in terms of the rice’s origin, characteristics, and quality.

Traditional basmati rice gives around 10-12 quintals per acre. Therefore, farmers in India are now producing more of other varieties of basmati rice which could give more rice, such as 1121, Pusa, Sharbati, and Parmal basmati rice.

This means that exporters now have access to larger quantities of basmati rice varieties at lower costs. They can now increase their exports of these varieties to meet diverse consumer preferences and increase their profit. 



What Basmati Rice Buyers Demand from Suppliers:

As per the recent trends of the global trade industry of basmati rice, there are a few requirements that exporters need to meet. This is to ensure that high-quality basmati rice is being exported. Some of those requirements are:

  • Color: translucent, pearly creamy white, prefer white polished (most demanded)
  • Shape: long, slender, slightly tapered grains with pointed ends
  • Grains: long and slender
  • Texture: silky, firm grains, should separate and become fluffy after cooking
  • Fragrance: nutty and floral
  • Elongation: should elongate equal or more than double the length of uncooked grain
  • Flavour: Nutty and sweet
