Rice is the most widely consumed staple around the world, especially in Asia. Rice is extremely important for human nutrition and calorie intake. There are three varieties of rice short-grain rice, medium-grain rice, and long-grain rice. Basmati is a long grain aromatic rice that usually grows in the Indian subcontinent.  Basmati is derived from Sanskrit and means fragrant. India produces 70% of the basmati grown around the world. Basmati rice is primarily grown in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar. There are over 32 varieties of Basmati rice under section 5 of the Seeds Act in India.

Basmati rice export data shows that India exported 4.86 billion dollars in the financial year 2019. This was primarily due to the aggressive buying of rice by Iran. This shows a slight jump of 4.17 billion dollars exported in 2018.
