The GCC is one of the world's most consistent buyers of premium Basmati rice. Saudi Arabia alone imports over 600,000 tonnes of rice annually, with Basmati accounting for the majority of the premium household and food service segment. Qatar, Kuwait and Oman similarly have high per-capita rice consumption with strong brand and quality expectations.
Pakistan's 1121 Basmati is the reference variety across GCC markets â its extra-long grain (8.35mm+), intense aroma and elongation ratio make it the preferred choice for biryani, the region's most consumed rice dish. HAG Commodities has built strong relationships with Gulf importers and distributors over several years of consistent supply.
