PK-386 is a Pakistani non-Basmati long-grain irrigated rice variety that has earned a strong reputation in African and Middle Eastern import markets for its consistent grain length, clean white milling quality, and competitive price point versus IRRI-6 and other non-Basmati varieties. With a grain length of 6.8–7.2mm, PK-386 is noticeably longer than short-grain varieties and sits between IRRI-6 and the bottom tier of Basmati in terms of visual quality.
For bulk importers — particularly in West and East Africa — PK-386 offers an attractive value proposition: a well-milled, clean white grain that appeals to consumers who want longer grain rice without the premium price of Basmati. In markets like Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya, PK-386 competes directly with IRRI-6 and is preferred by buyers seeking slightly higher visual quality for retail and mid-market distribution.
HAG Commodities exports PK-386 with REAP registration, DPPQ Phytosanitary Certificate, and TDAP Certificate of Origin. SGS or Intertek pre-shipment inspection available. All shipments by 20ft or 40ft FCL containers from Karachi Port.
