We have special Tie-ups with some of the BIG and Famous Rice Millers in Thailand to cater to our client's requirements. That's why our Millers as well as our Clients just look for us for their business. The following are Rice varieties that we have been exporting out of Thailand regularly:   

Jasmine Rice

Characteristics : Regarded as the highest quality Thai rice, Jasmine rice is recognized as the favored rice by gourmets both domestically and internationally. The grain is long and slender, translucent yet hard with a low content of chalky kernel. When cooked Jasmine rice is shiny, soft and tender with a natural aromatic flavor, most pronounced when freshly harvested.

Market Facts : Due to its particularly high quality, Jasmine rice today enjoys huge popularity and a worldwide reputation, its consumption increasing with global economic growth and rising prosperity. Leading buyers of Jasmine rice currently include China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, EU and the US,along with many countries in Asia, Europe and the Middle-East. Export markets have also opened up in Africa.

White Rice

Characteristics : White rice is often referred to as polished or fully milled rice because the husk and bran are completely removed from the kernel. Thai white rice is generally of the long grain, Indica type.

Market Facts : White rice is the staple consumed by the majority of the world’s population. Due to such extensive consumption, Thai white rice has long been in demand and today Thailand exports to more than 100 countries worldwide

Parboiled Rice

Characteristics : Parboiled rice is produced by a process of soaking, pressure steaming and drying prior to milling. This modifies the starch and permits the retention of much of the natural vitamins and minerals in kernels. The rice is usually slightly yellowish, although the colour largely fades after cooking. 

Market Facts : Parboiled rice is the only rice produced for export-oriented purposes, and Thailand is now the world's largest supplier. Among the major markets are South Africa, Nigeria and various contries in Asia, Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East.

Glutinous Rice (Sticky Rice or Sweet Rice)

Characteristics : The consistency of what is commonly called "sticky" rice is derived from two kinds of starch in the kernels, namely amylose and amylopectin. A higher amount of the later increases the sticky texture. Glutinous rice can be easily distinguished from other varieties by its milky colour.

Market Facts : Glutinous rice is most widely consumed in the ares where it is grown, as well as by certain communities in Laos and Cambodia. In addition to direct consumption, it is often used as an ingredient in sweet dishes, snacks and the brewing industry. However, export of glutinous rice has rapidly increased in the recent years.

Organic Rice

Characteristics : Organic rice is grown and processed without the use of any synthetic chemicals as found, for example, in fertilizers, insecticides, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, preservatives, seed treatments, hormones and such alike. Currently, only specially selected high-quality Jasmine rice is planted organically in a very limited area, although this type of agricultural practice is becoming more widespread as the number of health-conscious consumers is growing rapidly.

Market Facts : The organic rice project was initiated with the full support of two major Rice Cultivators in Thailand and one Overeas Expert from Italy. Although Initial exports had been targeted at EU consumers, potential markets have been identified in other European countries, North America and parts of Asia, where interest has been shown by the health and baby food industries.
