The growth of the basmati rice market is driven by its central role in Middle Eastern cuisine, where it is used to prepare rich dishes that feature layers of rice, meat, and dried fruits. Basmati rice also forms a part of the staple diet of many cultures, thus boosting its consumption globally. Besides, the basmati rice demand forecast indicates that the increasing export demand from various countries in the Middle East has further led to the fast rate of rice cultivation in most major geographic regions. Other important large importing countries are the USA and Europe.
As per the Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), for India's basmati rice export market, Iran emerges as the largest importer, accounting for 25.3% of the total exports, followed by Saudi Arabia with 17.1% and Iraq with 12.3%. These three countries alone account for a significant basmati rice market share, highlighting the strong demand for basmati rice in the Middle East. The United Arab Emirates and Yemen also contribute notable shares, with 6.5% and 5.2%, respectively, reinforcing the Middle Eastern dominance.
The basmati rice industry analysis also states that the United States (4.1%) and Kuwait (3.7%) are prominent non-Middle Eastern buyers, while the United Kingdom (3.3%), Oman (2.0%), and Qatar (1.8%) account for smaller shares. The overall trend shows a concentrated demand in the Middle East, driven by inventory-building efforts and a willingness to pay higher prices. This reflects the regional preference and robust market potential for India's basmati rice.
