Abstract

Basmati, pronounced is a variety of long, slender-grained aromatic rice which is traditionally grown in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. As of 2019, India accounted for 65% of the international trade in basmati rice, while Pakistan accounted for the remaining 35%.Many countries use domestically grown basmati rice crops; however, basmati is geographically exclusive to certain districts of India and Pakistan.According to the Indian Government agency APEDA, a rice variety is eligible to be called basmati if it has a minimum average precooked milled rice length of 6.61 mm (0.260 in) and average precooked milled rice breadth of up to 2 mm (0.079 in), among other parameters. The areas which have GI tag for basmati rice production in India are in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Uttarakhand, Western Uttar Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. India's total basmati production for the July 2011–June 2012 crop year was five million tonnes.From April 2018 to March 2019, India exported 4.4 million metric tons of basmati rice.In 2015–16, Saudi Arabia, Iran and UAE were the three biggest destinations for India's basmati rice exports and exports to these three countries accounted for more than half of India's total basmati exports.In 2015–16, basmati rice worth US$3.4 billion was exported from India.
