About rice
Most traded rice comes from India, Thailand, Vietnam and Pakistan. White rice is graded by the share of broken grains, from 5% broken for retail to 25% and above for food service and processing.
Fragrant rices such as jasmine and basmati are graded by origin, grain length and purity, and sell at a premium.
Frequently asked questions
What does 5% broken mean?
The rice contains no more than 5% broken grains by weight. Lower broken percentages mean a higher grade and price.
Can you pack under our own brand?
Many mills pack in the buyer’s own printed bags. Minimum quantities and lead times apply.
Can I get a sample before buying?
Pre-shipment samples can usually be arranged for approval before the contract or before shipment, with the cost agreed in advance.
