Super Kernel Basmati – The Best Option for Fragrance:

Farmers grow Super Kernel Basmati Rice only in the rich areas between the Ravi and Chenab rivers. It has a 7.2 mm grain length, a unique scent, and a thin form that elongates wonderfully when cooked. To improve its flavor and aroma, producers usually keep this rice for six to twelve months.

Super Kernel Basmati rice has the unwavering quality and unparalleled flavor that make them a popular option these days. As this option has upscaled it for dining establishments and export markets in the Middle East, Europe, and North America.

Sourcing Tip: Check export listings on TDAP (Trade Development Authority of Pakistan) or search for reliable suppliers in the districts of Sheikhupura and Narowal in Punjab ditrict.

IRRI-6 – Economical & High in Demand:

IRRI-6 is a mainstay of non-Basmati rice variety in Pakistan for those seeking price without sacrificing quality. Farmers commonly grow it in the Sindh region, and it has an average grain length of 6.0 mm. Chefs prize it for its robust cooking ability, good yield, and soft texture.

Because exporters may offer it in different broken percentages (5%, 10%, 25%, and 100%), bulk importers and the food processing industry have a variety of options.

Sourcing Tip: IRRI-6 processing and export are concentrated in Karachi, Larkana, and Thatta. For large orders, exporters situated in Sindh provide reasonable pricing.

PK-386 – A Versatile Performer:

Developed at the Rice Research Institute in Kala Shah Kaku, PK-386 is a long-grain non-aromatic rice variety that is early-maturing and high-yielding. The average grain length measures 6.8 mm, and consumers value it for its price, clean look, and superb cooking outcomes.

Although it lacks the scent of Basmati, producers regard it as a dependable export-quality rice that companies utilize in value rice packaging, catering, and institutions.

Procurement Advice: Widely available in the districts of Sheikhupura and Gujranwala in Punjab. Central Punjab’s rice processing facilities or reputable vendors can handle large requests.

D-98 (Sindhi Basmati) – The Hidden Gem:

Cultivated mostly in Sindh, D-98 rice, often known as Sindhi Basmati, is a lesser-known yet excellent fragrant rice type in Pakistan. It is less expensive than Super Kernel Basmati and has pearl-white grains and a pleasant scent.

D-98, which has an average grain length of 6.8 mm, is becoming more and more well-liked in the Gulf and African markets since it offers the cooking capabilities of premium rice without the expensive cost.

Sourcing Tip: Two important production locations are Hyderabad and Nawabshah. For clients from abroad, local exporters in Sindh frequently provide D-98 in bulk packing.
