What Is 1509 Steam Basmati Rice?

1509 is an early-maturing basmati varietal with an average grain length of approximately 8.40 mm before cooking – slightly shorter than 1121 – and it is known for a faster cooking time and a value price position that makes it a popular alternative for buyers comparing 1121 vs 1509 basmati difference at RFQ stage. Steam treatment is a light steaming step applied to the paddy before milling – distinct from full parboiling – that firms the grain structure and reduces breakage while preserving the natural bright creamy-white colour and delicate aroma basmati is known for. This differs from golden sella, which uses a longer soak-and-steam parboiling cycle to achieve a deeper amber-gold colour and firmer bite, and from raw basmati, which is milled with no steaming or parboiling step and produces the lightest colour and softest cooked texture. Steam, sella, and raw are quoted across the same grain-length and broken-grain specification, so buyers weighing is 1509 basmati cheaper than 1121 can compare colour, texture, and price tier directly at RFQ stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Is basmati only grown in India and Pakistan?

    Yes. Basmati is a Geographical Indication (GI) protected varietal group that can only be authentically grown in specific notified regions of India and Pakistan; no other origin can market rice as genuine basmati. Our 1509 steam basmati program is sourced exclusively from these two GI origins under one trading relationship.

  2. What is the difference between 1121 and 1509 basmati rice, and is 1509 cheaper?

    1509 is an early-maturing basmati varietal with a slightly shorter average grain length than 1121 and a faster cooking time, and it is generally positioned as the value or economy-tier basmati choice relative to 1121's longer-grain premium positioning. On the 1121 vs 1509 basmati difference in price, 1509 typically commands a lower FOB/CIF reference price than 1121 due to this grain-length and market-tier distinction, though actual pricing for both varietals is quoted per RFQ on an indicative basis and moves with the world market.

  3. What is the difference between steam, sella, and raw 1509 basmati rice?

    Steam-treated 1509 basmati undergoes a light steaming step before milling that firms the grain and reduces breakage while keeping a bright creamy-white colour and delicate aroma. Golden sella is parboiled through a longer soak-and-steam cycle that produces a deeper amber-gold colour and firmer texture, favoured in several Gulf biryani markets. Raw basmati is milled directly with no steaming or parboiling, giving the lightest colour and softest cooked texture. All three are quoted across the same grain-length and broken-grain specification.

  4. What is the MOQ for bulk 1509 steam basmati export?

    The MOQ is 12,500 MT on a bulk vessel basis via Supramax/Panamax booking, so foodservice distributors and large-scale importers can be quoted on the same RFQ basis.

  5. How is the 1509 steam basmati CIF price per ton quoted?

    Pricing is quoted per metric ton on an RFQ basis and is indicative only. CIF reference prices to the Middle East, Europe, and Africa move with the world basmati market and are subject to destination port, volume, packaging, freight, market conditions, and final seller confirmation; buyers should submit an RFQ naming their destination port for a current quotation.

  6. What certifications and documentation are provided for 1509 basmati shipments?

    Shipments are supported by SGS or equivalent pre-shipment inspection and Certificate of Analysis available on request, along with phytosanitary and fumigation certificates, certificate of origin, and bill of lading; a GI (Geographical Indication) certificate is provided where applicable, depending on origin and destination market requirements.

  7. What packaging options are available, including private label?

    1509 steam basmati rice is supplied in 25 kg and 50 kg PP bags as standard, with 1 kg and 5 kg retail formats and private-label printing available on customer request for premium retail and HoReCa distribution, palletised for container loading.
