Overview

About 1718 Basmati Rice

1718 Basmati Rice is a premium hybrid variety developed as an improved version of the iconic Pusa 1121. Grown primarily in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Uttarakhand, it offers the same extra-long grain length and basmati aroma as 1121 while providing greater resistance to crop fluctuations and a more competitive price point. It is widely exported to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, UK, Africa, and North America for bulk wholesale and institutional supply.

Why buyers choose RNG Agro Exports as their 1718 Basmati Rice exporter in India

Each batch of 1718 Basmati is sourced directly from verified partner farms in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Uttarakhand. Every consignment undergoes third-party lab testing for moisture content, purity, broken grain ratio, and pesticide residues before shipment. We issue a Certificate of Analysis (COA) per batch, delivering consistent quality at a competitive price point — order after order.

Available grades and processing types

1718 Basmati is available in Raw (White), Creamy Sella, Golden Sella, and Steam processing grades. Golden Sella is most popular in Middle East and African markets, while Creamy Sella is preferred by European distributors for its longer shelf life and cleaner appearance. Raw remains the choice for premium retail, and Steam is favoured by food service buyers.

Available in 25 kg and 50 kg PP woven bags as standard. BOPP printed private label bags, non-woven bags, and FIBC jumbo bags are available for bulk buyers. Custom printing with buyer branding is offered from 1×20ft container with no surcharge.
