Product Overview

Superb Aromatic Sona Masoori Rice

Sona Masoori (also known as Sona Masuri) is a premium lightweight, medium-grain aromatic rice. It is a hybrid of the Sona and Mahsuri rice varieties (specifically the popular BPT 5204 strain), cultivated extensively in the irrigated river basins of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Sona Masoori is highly prized for its low starch content, delicate aroma, and sweet flavor.

Global Popularity & Demand:

Due to its easy digestibility and lower glycemic index (GI) compared to standard white rice, Sona Masoori has seen exponential growth in international markets. It is the staple choice for Indian diaspora and health-conscious consumers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, and the United States. It is ideal for daily cooking, biryanis, sweet pongal, and fried rice.

Frequently asked questions by international buyers importing Sona Masoori rice from India.

We provide retail packing in laminated PP bags, BOPP bags (high gloss print), and non-woven fabric bags in 5 kg, 10 kg, 20 kg, and 25 kg capacities. For bulk wholesale operations, we provide standard 25 kg and 50 kg PP bags.
