D-98 Basmati is a long-grain aromatic Basmati variety grown in the Punjab region of Pakistan. It is a well-established export variety known for its characteristic Basmati aroma, slender grain profile, and good elongation on cooking. D-98 occupies a mid-tier position in Pakistan’s Basmati export portfolio — delivering genuine Basmati quality at a more competitive FOB price than the premium Super Kernel and 1121 varieties.
For importers targeting mid-market Basmati segments, ethnic grocery wholesalers, and food service buyers who need the aroma and elongation of Basmati without paying the premium price of 1121 or Super Kernel, D-98 is a practical and commercially proven choice. It is exported to buyers in the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas.
