Indian Basmati rice is the most preferred rice of the people of Gulf countries including Oman. Thus, suppliers need to be able to provide various types of Basmati rice to their clientele.
Indian Basmati rice’s long grains, characteristic aroma and ability to prevent your meal from turning out sticky, make it a hit with consumers and chefs worldwide. There are also a few factors that make Indian Basmati rice especially relevant for the Oman market. These include:
Appropriate length and elongation of grains: Certain varieties of Indian Basmati rice have long grains that elongate a lot, giving dishes an elegant look.
Retention of aroma: Basmati rice’s characteristic aroma is lost if it is not processed properly. Ageing and processing of rice plays an important role in retaining the aroma.
Adaptability: Different types of Indian Basmati rice are processed in different ways to make them suitable to be used in a variety of dishes.
Familiarity: India and Oman have a long history of trade and rice is one of India’s major exports. The trade routes between the two nations have aided India in consistently meeting the rice demand of the Gulf, including Oman.
