GI-protected product

Basmati is a Geographical Indication (GI) protected to India and Pakistan only. No other country may sell rice labelled "Basmati" in WTO-compliant markets. India is the larger of the two producers.

GI / Origin: Basmati (GI registration India + Pakistan)

Why source this product from India

  • India and Pakistan are the only two countries in the world where authentic Basmati rice is cultivated under registered GI protection. India alone produced ~7.5 MT of Basmati in 2024.
  • The 1121 variety, with average grain length of 8.4 mm cooked, defines the global premium-rice benchmark. No non-Indian source matches the elongation ratio.
  • India offers a developed parboiling supply chain (Punjab + Haryana) and the world's largest export-fumigation infrastructure at Mundra and Kandla.
  • RoDTEP refund applies at HS 10063020; the landed FOB cost is structurally below Pakistani equivalents for parboiled Sella.
