Make smarter Long Grain Basmati Rice sourcing decisions with real market data
India (17.3%), Pakistan (14.3%) and Vietnam (13.3%) are the top supplier countries among 196 Long Grain Basmati Rice suppliers, spread across 36 countries, offering a wide origin pool but with concentration in a few key regions. The typical range is USD 444 - 1,140 per metric ton FOB, centered at a USD 1,000 median, meaning buyers should compare both price and quality specs carefully. Buyers request CIF more often than suppliers offer it — a 22 percentage point gap — so a CIF quote must be explicitly asked for to match demand.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Long Grain Basmati Rice listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 10 October 2026 - 549 active listings, 47 buyer requests, 385 source documents, and 1,845 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 Long Grain Basmati 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 Long Grain Basmati 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 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
