  • Rice, a staple cereal grain, is the primary food source for a significant portion of the global population, particularly in Asia. It ranks as the third most produced agricultural commodity globally, trailing only sugarcane and maize. Over half of the world's population relies on rice as a staple, with the highest consumption seen in Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and South America.
  • The Asia-Pacific region stands out as one of the dominant markets for rice, driven by its high production levels in the countries of the region. For instance, as per FAOSTAT, rice production in Thailand was 32,977,775 metric tons in 2021 which increased and reached 34,317,028 metric tons in 2022. From Pakistan in the west to Japan in the east, the Asian region not only grows but also consumes the majority of the world's rice. Globally, rice ranks as the second-most crucial cereal crop, following wheat, and plays a pivotal role in ensuring food security for many developing nations in East and Southeast Asia.
  • Basmati rice, renowned globally, boasts slender grains, a distinctive aroma, and a unique taste that elongates when cooked. India commands a dominant position in the aromatic rice market, holding an impressive 80% share, as per the government of India. Meanwhile, the United States predominantly imports aromatic Asian varieties, notably basmati and jasmine rice. Long-grain indica rice and aromatic types like basmati and jasmine make up a significant portion of rice imports, especially favored in Northern Europe. The United Kingdom stands out as one of the leading basmati rice importers, sourcing primarily from India.
  • Further, market growth is fueled by globalization, the expanding food and food service industry, rising migration, and the growing popularity of rice dishes. In recent years, the rice market has seen substantial growth, largely driven by surging demand in emerging and developing nations worldwide.
