1718 Steam Basmati Rice

Welcome to Siya Agri Exports LLP, your source for the future of Basmati-1718 Steam Basmati Rice.

Developed by Indian agricultural scientists as the "Improved Version of 1121," the 1718 variety retains all the legendary characteristics of its predecessor-the aroma, the taste, and the massive length. However, it solves the biggest problem of 1121: fragility.

1718 Steam Basmati has a tougher grain structure. This means when we mill and steam it, there are significantly fewer broken grains. On the plate, it offers the same breathtaking 8.35mm+ length and bright White/Creamy color as 1121 Steam, but with a more consistent, whole-grain presentation. It is rapidly becoming the preferred choice for premium markets in the Middle East and Europe.

Why Choose Siya Agri Exports for 1718 Steam?

Less Breakage = Better Presentation

The "Whole Grain" Guarantee: One of the complaints with older Basmati varieties is that the long tips can snap off during cooking. 1718 is genetically stronger. Whether you are packing it for retail or cooking it in a restaurant, you get a higher percentage of beautiful, full-length grains on the plate.

The Same Premium Length

No Compromise: You do not lose any length by switching to 1718. It still boasts an impressive raw length of 8.35mm to 8.40mm and elongates to over 20mm when cooked. It is visually indistinguishable from the top-tier 1121 variety.

Applications & Uses

Premium Biryani: The strong grain holds up well to the heavy spices and meat weight in layered Biryanis.

Supermarket Retail: Its uniform appearance and bright white color make it look very attractive in clear poly bags on store shelves.

Middle Eastern Pilaf: Perfect for dishes where rice is the main centerpiece and grain separation is critical.

Logistics & Packaging

Future-Proof Supply: Farmers are increasingly switching to growing 1718 because it is disease-resistant. This ensures a stable, consistent supply chain for importers looking for long-term contracts.

Custom Branding: We can print "Premium Long Grain Basmati" on bags, helping you market this new variety effectively.
