IR64 Rice Explained: India's Largest Non-Basmati Export

IR64 carries the largest non-basmati export volume out of India. Long-grain, parboiled or raw, available 5%–25% broken to specification. The workhorse of bulk distributor trade and government tender supply.

By D. Anadkat · 2026-05-15 · 6 min read · Category: Rice Varieties

If you trade rice into West Africa, East Africa, Bangladesh, Indonesia or government tender pipelines, you've handled IR64 — whether the bag said "IR64" or just "long-grain Indian non-basmati". It's the highest-volume non-basmati rice export India produces, and the workhorse of the bulk distributor trade.

What IR64 is

IR64 is a long-grain rice cultivar bred at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) in the Philippines and widely adopted across India as a high-yield, semi-dwarf variety. Grain length 6.5–7.2 mm uncooked, lower aroma than basmati, neutral flavour profile. India produces IR64 at scale in West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Odisha — typically dual-cropped in irrigated paddy systems.

For export, IR64 is supplied in three primary forms: parboiled (golden), raw (natural milled white), and 100% broken (Tukda) for ingredient buyers and food-processing applications.

Why IR64 dominates non-basmati volume

Yield: 6–8 tonnes per hectare — significantly higher than basmati cultivars.
Cycle: 120-day duration enables double-cropping — supply is consistent year-round.
Price: Lowest per-MT entry point for premium long-grain Indian rice — typically $400–$700/MT FOB depending on broken percentage and parboiled vs raw.
Versatility: Cooks well for retail, food-aid, food-processing, ingredient use, and government feeding programs.

Broken percentage and pricing

Spec	Broken %	Typical use	Indicative FOB USD/MT
IR64 5% broken	Up to 5%	Premium retail, gift packs	$640–$720
IR64 10% broken	Up to 10%	Standard retail	$580–$660
IR64 15% broken	Up to 15%	Distributor, HoReCa	$520–$610
IR64 25% broken	Up to 25%	Bulk distributor, food-aid	$460–$540
IR64 100% broken (Tukda)	All broken grains	Food ingredient, brewing, animal feed	$340–$430

Prices indicative for 2026; confirm against a current PI. Government tender and food-aid pricing typically clusters around the 15–25% broken spec.

Largest IR64 destination markets

West Africa: Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Benin, Togo, Nigeria — bulk distributor and food-aid programs.
East Africa: Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar — retail and government supply.
Southeast Asia: Bangladesh, Indonesia — value-tier retail and food-processing.
Middle East: Iraq, Iran — bulk distributor.

How Vilora Impex handles IR64 supply

We aggregate IR64 from milling partners in Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal, sortex-clean to buyer-specified broken percentage, and ship from Mundra or Kandla in 25/50 kg PP woven sacks or buyer-branded jute. For food-aid and government tender supply, we structure documentation to meet pre-qualification requirements (PSI inspection, tender-spec lab COA, dedicated tender pricing tracks).

Frequently asked

Is IR64 a basmati rice?: No. IR64 is a long-grain non-basmati cultivar — different cultivar family, different aroma profile, different price tier. It's marketed as "long-grain Indian rice" in retail, not as basmati.
Can IR64 be supplied parboiled and raw in the same FCL?: Yes. Multi-spec FCLs are common — each spec ships in its own lot ID with its own COA. We consolidate at Mundra or Kandla per the PI.
What documentation does food-aid IR64 need?: Beyond standard phyto/FSSAI/APEDA/COO/BL, food-aid programs (UN World Food Programme, USDA Food for Peace, tender bodies) usually require pre-shipment inspection (PSI), tender-spec sample approval, and country-specific labelling. We structure documentation upfront when the PI is signed.
