Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Basmati Brown Rice sourcing decisions with real market data
India (47%) leads the 387 Basmati Brown Rice suppliers, with Pakistan at 16% and the United Arab Emirates at 4.4%, across 40 countries, so sourcing from outside India is possible but less common. The typical range is USD 199 - 1,050 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 568 median, meaning prices vary widely and buyers should assess quality and origin carefully. Buyer inquiries fell 33.7% to 244 in the last 30 days. Buyers request CIF more often than suppliers offer it — a 26.5 percentage point gap — so a CIF price must be explicitly asked for.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Basmati Brown Rice had 74 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 59 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate than a month ago, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent prices or pack sizes. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers with similar specs to see which one is more current.
Is the market busy?
40 of the 387 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, a mix of long-standing and new suppliers. The pool includes both sellers with a long history and those who are just beginning to list. This gives buyers more names to consider, but the newer ones have less track record to assess. A buyer can use the listing history to spot consistency in supply and pricing over time.

| Market | Demand | Supply | Offers/req |
|---|---|---|---|
| Global | 2,281 requests | 1,968 products | 0.9 |
| Middle East & North Africa | 534 requests | 1,968 products | 3.7 |
| Gulf Cooperation Council | 471 requests | 1,968 products | 4.2 |
| USMCA | 318 requests | 1,968 products | 6.2 |
| India | 284 requests | 1,968 products | 6.9 |
Globally, 1,968 listings meet 2,281 buyer requests — 0.9 listings per request, so buyers compete for the listings on offer. The Middle East & North Africa sends 534 requests (23.4%), and there the same 1,968 listings make 3.7 listings per request — a high concentration of buyer interest. With more requests than listings, suppliers can be selective about which requests they answer.
CIF is the clearest mismatch: more than half of buyer requests (58.7%) ask for it, yet only 32.2% of listings offer it (1257 supply vs 1737 demand observations). A supplier able to quote CIF stands out to these buyers. FOB runs the other way — 49.3% of listings against 32.7% of buyer requests, suppliers offer it 16.6 pts more often.
T/T is the widest payment gap: 47.2% of buyer requests ask for it, but only 34.2% of listings accept it (1517 supply vs 1294 demand observations). MoneyGram runs the reverse — 7.3% of listings vs 1.9% of buyer requests, suppliers offer it 5.4 pts more often.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Basmati Brown Rice listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 3 October 2026 - 844 active listings, 230 buyer requests, 1,968 source documents, and 7,213 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Basmati Brown Rice type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Basmati Brown Rice, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 7 days on a rolling 365-day window.
