Geographically, the Asia Pacific accounts for a significant share in the market. The growth is attributed to the high demand for white and parboiled rice in countries like India, China, and Bangladesh. Rice is one of the most important cereal crops in India. Meanwhile, in North America, Middle East, and Europe, the market is driven by the rising product demand for domestic consumption.
The parboiled rice market is expanding due to rising consumer demand for convenience foods, increasing awareness of health and nutritional benefits, advancements in rice processing technology, and a growing emphasis on sustainability and eco-friendly practices.
The growing preference for convenience foods has significantly boosted the global parboiled rice market. Parboiled rice is valued for its quick cooking time and nutritional benefits, making it ideal for consumers looking for hassle-free meal options. This trend has led to increased production and global consumption. In November 2024, Western Cluster Liberia initiated its first rice harvest project in Tubmanburg, Bomi County, aiming to support local farmers with high-yield Indian rice, providing seeds, training, and technical assistance to improve local rice production and food security.
As consumers become more health-conscious, the demand for parboiled rice has surged due to its nutritional advantages over regular white rice. Retaining more vitamins, minerals, and fibre, parboiled rice supports digestive health and overall well-being. This growing focus on health and nutrition is propelling the market's expansion in various regions. In April 2021, a USD 25 million parboiled rice plant was launched in Couva, Milton, with funding from the Agricultural Development Bank. The plant aims to meet 40% of local demand, save USD 32 million in foreign exchange, and support local farmers.
Technological advancements in rice milling and processing have improved the quality and efficiency of parboiled rice production. Innovations in steaming, drying, and milling techniques have made parboiled rice more affordable and accessible. These improvements help preserve nutrients and enhance cooking experiences, increasing its global popularity. In March 2021, Al-Andalus launched a N1 billion rice milling factory in Abuja, Nigeria, processing 150 metric tons daily. The factory aims to boost local rice quality, create jobs, and support the country's self-sufficiency goals while targeting both domestic and international markets.
Sustainability trends are reshaping the global parboiled rice market, as farmers adopt eco-friendly practices like organic farming and reduced water usage. This shift responds to growing consumer demand for environmentally responsible products. Sustainable rice production is enhancing the environmental footprint of the industry. In 2023, Cambodia’s Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) introduced the Champei Sar 70 rice variety. Developed over nine years, this variety can be harvested 2-3 times annually, offering a yield of 4-4.5 tons per hectare, while being resistant to weather and pests, reducing costs and improving market supply.
Parboiled rice is a partially precooked rice that is prepared by soaking, steaming, and drying rice while it is still in its inedible outer husk, that is, before milling. Parboiling rice is an economical way to improve storage stability and significantly increase the nutritive value of the rice. Whereas, white rice is a milled rice, which has had its husk, bran, and germ removed.
