India is the largest exporter of rice in the world, and a significant share of this trade comes from non-basmati rice varieties, which are staple grains consumed across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Unlike basmati rice, which is aromatic and premium priced, non-basmati rice varieties are generally medium or short-grain, non-aromatic, and competitively priced, making them suitable for large-scale consumption.
The country cultivates thousands of rice varieties due to its diverse agro-climatic conditions. These varieties differ in grain length, cooking characteristics, aroma, and yield. Non-basmati rice exports include raw rice, parboiled rice, steam rice, and broken rice, depending on the requirement of importing countries
Non-basmati rice exports account for a large portion of India's total rice shipments, largely due to their affordability, high availability, and adaptability to different cuisines around the world.
