Long Grain White Rice – Multi-Grade Non-Basmati Rice Supply for Global Commercial Buyers

Few rice commodities carry the universal commercial relevance of Long Grain White Rice. Consumed across virtually every rice-eating culture on the planet and traded in enormous volumes through the global bulk rice market, long grain white rice is the foundational commodity of the international non-basmati rice trade — a product that feeds billions of people daily and underpins the supply chains of governments, food manufacturers, institutional caterers, food aid organisations, and retail food brands operating at every scale.

        At Himmathfoodstuff, we source and supply premium Long Grain White Rice in three commercially essential broken grain grades — 5% broken, 25% broken, and 100% broken — providing international buyers with a flexible, high-volume supply solution precisely tailored to their specific end-use requirements and purchasing economics. As an experienced rice exporter with established sourcing relationships across India’s and Pakistan’s leading non-basmati rice producing regions, we deliver consistent grade, reliable volume, full export documentation, and competitive bulk pricing to buyers worldwide.

What Defines Long Grain White Rice

Long grain white rice is defined by its grain length — typically 6.0 mm or above in the raw state — and its slender, elongated profile that distinguishes it clearly from medium and short grain rice varieties. The white milling process removes the outer bran and germ layers from the brown rice kernel, producing the familiar bright white appearance and mild, clean flavour that has made long grain white rice the staple grain of choice across South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and beyond.

The long grain profile delivers a characteristically separate, fluffy cooked texture — grains remain individually distinct after cooking rather than clumping together — making it the preferred grain type for cultures and cuisines that value clean grain separation in cooked rice dishes. This cooking characteristic, combined with the variety’s broad geographical cultivation, high agricultural yield, and consistent commercial availability, makes Long Grain White Rice one of the most traded agricultural commodities in the world and a reliable foundational product for any rice import and distribution business operating in global non-basmati markets.

At Himmathfoodstuff, our Long Grain White Rice is sourced from certified processing facilities across the key non-basmati producing regions of India and Pakistan, where the combination of fertile agricultural land, established rice cultivation expertise, and modern milling infrastructure delivers a product that consistently meets the quality and specification requirements of international buyers across all three broken grain grades.

Grade 1 — Long Grain White Rice 5% Broken

Long Grain White Rice at 5% broken grade is the premium whole-grain expression of this non-basmati commodity — a product where a minimum of 95% of the grains in every consignment are whole, unbroken kernels of consistent long length, uniform white colour, and clean well-sorted appearance. Produced through careful milling, thorough sortex processing, and precise grading that eliminates broken, chalky, and off-specification kernels before packing, this grade delivers a visually clean and commercially premium product suitable for the most demanding food service and retail applications.

The 5% broken grade performs consistently across a wide range of culinary applications — producing fluffy, well-separated cooked grains with a mild, neutral flavour that pairs effectively with the diverse sauces, stews, curries, and accompaniments served across Middle Eastern, African, South Asian, and Southeast Asian food cultures. For importers and distributors supplying food service operators, supermarket chains, and retail outlets where grain presentation and cooking uniformity directly influence consumer satisfaction, the 5% broken grade provides the optimum balance of premium product quality and competitive non-basmati pricing.

Grade 2 — Long Grain White Rice 25% Broken

Long Grain White Rice at 25% broken grade is a mid-range commercial product designed for applications where whole-grain visual presentation is secondary to purchasing economics and cooking volume efficiency. With a defined proportion of broken grain pieces present alongside whole kernels, this grade delivers a competitively priced supply solution for large-scale institutional catering, food manufacturing operations, and government or humanitarian procurement programmes where cost-per-tonne is the primary purchasing driver.

The 25% broken grade cooks faster than whole-grain rice due to the increased water absorption surface area of broken grain pieces — a practical advantage for high-volume institutional kitchens and food manufacturers working under time, energy, and cost constraints. Food manufacturers extensively use this grade in the production of rice-based convenience meals, canned rice products, soups, and packaged food items where the rice undergoes further processing and whole-grain visual appearance is not a purchasing requirement.

Grade 3 — Long Grain White Rice 100% Broken

Long Grain White Rice at 100% broken grade — commercially known as broken rice or rice grits — consists entirely of broken grain pieces produced as a natural byproduct of the white milling process. While unsuitable for direct table rice consumption, 100% broken Long Grain White Rice is a high-demand industrial and agricultural commodity with significant commercial value across several large-volume sectors globally.

In the animal feed industry, it is a widely used high-energy feed ingredient incorporated into compound feed formulations for poultry, swine, aquaculture, and cattle. In the brewing and distilling industry, broken rice serves as a cost-efficient adjunct starch source in beer production and industrial fermentation. Food manufacturers use 100% broken rice as a raw material for rice flour milling, starch extraction, puffed rice, breakfast cereals, baby food formulation, rice crackers, and gluten-free processed food products where grain form is transformed entirely during manufacturing.
