    To, End Buyer Subject: Proposal to Export Basmati Rice from India. Basmati is a variety of long grain rice, famous for its fragrance and delicate flavour. Its name means "Queen of Fragrance" in Hindi. Basmati rice has been cultivated in the Indian subcontinent for hundreds of years. The Himalayan foothills are said to produce the best basmati. Although all Basmati Varieties are fragrant rice of highest quality, commercially, The Super Basmati, a premium variety from Pakistan and Dehra Dun from India, are the most prized of the basmati varieties. Patna rice is a close cousin of basmati rice grown around Patna in Bihar. The best types of basmati rice are aged for several years before they are milled and sold, as rice cooks better with a lower moisture content. The grains of basmati rice are much longer than they are wide, and they grow even longer as they cook. They stay firm and separate, not sticky, after cooking. Basmati rice is available both as a white rice and a brown rice. Both of these cook in about 20 minutes. Due to the high amount of starch clinging to the rice grains, many cooks wash this rice before cooking it. Soaking it for half an hour to two hours before cooking makes the grains less likely to break during cooking.

    Rice From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rice Oryza sativa Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Liliopsida Order: Poales Family: Poaceae Genus: Oryza Species • Oryza glaberrima • Oryza sativa Rice refers to two species ( Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima ) of grass , native to tropical and subtropical southern & southeastern Asia and to Africa , which together provide more than one fifth of the calories consumed by humans [1]. (The term "wild rice" can refer to wild species of Oryza, but conventionally refers to species of the related genus Zizania , both wild and domesticated.) Rice is an annual plant , growing to 1–1.8 m tall, occasionally more, with long slender leaves 50–100 cm long and 2–2.5 cm broad. The small wind-pollinated flowers are produced in a branched arching to pendulous inflorescence 30–50 cm long. The seed is a grain (caryopsis) 5–12 mm long and 2–3 mm thick.

Rice is the world's third largest crop, behind maize ("corn") and wheat . Rice cultivation is well suited to countries and regions with low labour costs and high rainfall , as it is very labour-intensive to cultivate and requires plenty of water for irrigation , much like the licorice crops found in Eastern Europe.

  • Katarni Paddy Study Final
    CHAPTER - I INTRODUCTION Prologue With about 45 million hectares (MH) of rice area, India is the second largest producer of rice in the world, after China. The rice production in India reached 91.61 million tones (MTs) during 2001-02. Of these, the three states West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh accounted for about 42.00 per cent. India also produces some of the best quality rices of the world. These include the long grained export quality Basmati and a host of locally adopted small and medium grained scented rice varieties, known for their excellent cooking and eating qualities. Most rice growing states in the country have few or many such varieties, like Basmati is found in Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh, the small and medium grained scented rice varieties like (i) Kalanamak, (ii) Shakarchini, and; (iii) Hansraj are found in U P, (i) Dubraj, (ii) Chinoor in Chattisgarh, Kalajoha in North-East, Ramdhuni Pagal in Orissa, Ambemohar in Maharashtra and so on. The long grained Basmati rice are generally exported and has assured markets, the small and medium grained non- basmati scented rices are consumed locally. Due to the quest for high yielding varieties, beginning with mid sixties, a large number of the small and medium grained varieties slowly vanished from farmers’ fields. For example only few years back, Uttar Pradesh farmers grew as many as 40 well known scented varieties. But, today, one finds not more than 3 or 4 being grown by farmers, that too on limited scale, and only in some specific areas (Singh & Singh 2000).

  • Trends in Area, Production and Productivity of Paddy Crop: an Overview
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention (IJHSSI) ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org ||Volume 8 Issue 1 Series. I || January 2019 || PP 50-58 Trends in Area, Production and Productivity of Paddy Crop: an Overview Kasula Sekhara* Prof. M. Devarajulu** ABSTRACT: India is endowed with land and water resources with conductive agro-climatic advantages for cultivation of paddy. Paddy is mainly grown in rain-fed areas which receive heavy annual rainfall. That is why it is fundamentally a Kharif crop in India. Paddy is also grown through irrigation in those areas which receive comparatively less rainfall. Paddy is one of the most important food crops of India in terms of area, production and consumer preferences. Thus, paddy occupies a prominent place in Indian agriculture. India is the second largest producer and consumer of paddy in the world. India is also the fourth largest exporter of paddy in the world. The paddy crop provides employment to majority of farming population in India. The technological change and favorable government policies has helped in increasing paddy production in India for the last 65 years (1950-51 to 2014-15) and made India not only self-sufficient in Paddy production but also the big exporter of paddy in the world. Paddy is cultivated in almost all the states in India. The major paddy producing states are West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Assam, Karnataka, and Kerala and they together contribute over 95 per cent of the country’s paddy production. In India, West Bengal occupies first place in paddy production.

S.OMALLEY OF THE INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE FELLOW OF THE ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY AND OF THE ROYAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL INSTITUTE Cambridge: at the University Press 1917 EDITOR'S PREFACE N 1910, when I was asked by the Cambridge University I Press to suggest a suitable sub-division of the Indian Empire into natural geographical units for treatment in separate volumes, J. was embarrassed by the fact that the Province of Bengal, as it had been known for many years before 1905, was then restricted, for administrative con­ venience, to the western three-quarters of the old province, the eastern districts having been lumped with Assam to form the Lieut.-Governorship of Eastern Bengal and Assam. To find an author who could give, in true per­ spective and as the result of personal intimacy an outline sketch of two such dissimilar units as old Bengal and Assam seemed to be impossible; and thus it was decided, in spite of the obvious disadvantages, especially in nomen­ clature, to cut off Assam, which differed so greatly from the rest of the new province of Eastern Bengal, leaving to the ingenuity of the author the problem of designing for the residual area a geographical name that was sufficiently expressive without clashing with the new official nomenclature.
