Indian Rice – Basmati
Product Info
It is true that different sectors of the rice industry have different interests and priorities. As rice is the only grain that is not processed before consumption; meanwhile, other grains are usually processed before reaching the consumers. No wonder, grain quality in rice is a very sensitive issue. Farmers are interested in early maturing and high yields, which will give them a good return on high yields and allow enough time to plant the following crops, including wheat. Miller’s interest is high head rice recovery. Traders prefer attractive physical appearance (shape and size), whiteness and uniform grain size.
