The 1718 variety was bred to give farmers better field output while keeping the grain quality that basmati buyers look for. It holds up well against common paddy diseases, which means fewer crop losses and more consistent supply through the season. On the plate, the rice cooks up long and separate, with the aroma expected from basmati.
Buyers get 1718 basmati rice straight from the mill, without going through extra layers of trading. Packaging is worked out with each buyer based on shipment size and destination port. This direct approach, paired with more than three decades in the trade, is why wholesalers, distributors, and export clients keep coming back to Krishna Rice Mill.
