About our Basmati Rice

Basmati is India's best-known rice — slender, extra-long grains that roughly double in length when cooked, stay separate and fluffy, and carry a naturally nutty fragrance. It is grown in the Indo-Gangetic plains of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring states.

KSDR International Trade sources Basmati from established mills in the growing belt. Each lot is cleaned, sortex-graded and checked for grain length, moisture and broken percentage before it is packed to the buyer's specification.

  • Extra-long grains with distinct natural fragrance
  • Raw, Steam, White Sella and Golden Sella grades
  • Sortex cleaned and machine graded
  • Highly sought after in the Middle East, Europe and the USA
