Africa is one of the fastest-growing rice import markets in the world. Sub-Saharan Africa alone imports over 15 million tonnes of rice annually, with demand driven by rapid urbanisation, population growth and changing dietary preferences. Pakistan is a key supplier, particularly for East African markets in Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania and Uganda.
HAG Commodities has established reliable supply chains to 8 African countries. Our IRRI-6 and IRRI-9 varieties are price-competitive and well-suited to the bulk distribution and food processing sectors that dominate African rice imports. We also supply Basmati for the growing premium urban consumer segment.
