Long grain rice: the staple food of West Africa

Rice is the most consumed cereal in West Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa imports between 12 and 15 million tonnes of rice per year, most of it long grain white rice with 5% or 25% brokens. Demand is growing 4 to 5% per year.

5% vs 25% brokens: the brokens percentage indicates the proportion of broken grains. 5% brokens is premium quality (whole grains, better visual appearance, higher price). 25% brokens is more economical, widely consumed in institutional catering and low-income households in West Africa.

🍚 Parboiled: nutritional advantages

Parboiled rice undergoes hydrothermal treatment before milling, transferring nutrients from the bran into the grain. Result: better nutritional value, superior cooking integrity, longer shelf life. Highly valued in East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania) and the Middle East.

Origins and quality differentiation

  • Thailand: Fragrant long grain (jasmine), premium quality, highest price. Thailand Grade A standard.
  • Vietnam: Good value for money, wide range in 5% and 25%, joint leading global exporter.
  • India: Wide range — basmati (premium), non-basmati 5%/25% (economy). Significant fluctuations depending on agricultural policy decisions.
  • Pakistan: Basmati and IRRI-6 (economical long grain), price-competitive.
