Premium 1509 Basmati Rice: World’s Longest Grain “Chef’s Choice” Exporter

100% Pure Grade A Extra Long Grain | Trusted B2B Supplier for High-Volume Catering & Retail

Welcome to The Agrox Group, India’s premier exporter of world-class 1509 Basmati Rice. We specialize in supplying premium-quality, extra-long grain rice sourced from the advanced agricultural belts of Punjab and Haryana. Developed as a high-yielding, early-maturing wonder crop, our 1509 Basmati Rice is the preferred choice for large-scale catering, industrial food processing, and price-conscious premium retail markets in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe.

What is Premium 1509 Basmati Rice?

100% Pure Grade A Length & Commercial Viability Premium 1509 Basmati Rice is a modern “Extra Long Grain” variety (Pusa Basmati 1509) that rivals the famous 1121 variety in length but offers superior yield and affordability. It is celebrated for having the longest raw grain length of any Basmati variety (often exceeding 8.4mm), cooking into a fluffy, separate, and visually spectacular rice that fills the plate.

Our 100% Pure Grade A 1509 Basmati Rice represents the smart intersection of luxury and economics. While standard market variants are often mixed with shorter hybrid grains to reduce costs further, our Grade A inventory is guaranteed 100% Pure 1509 Variety. We strictly enforce a “Zero-Admixture” policy, ensuring that every grain belongs to the Pusa 1509 lineage. Our 100% Pure Grade specification focuses heavily on Moisture Optimization and Sorting. Because 1509 is a faster-maturing crop, it can naturally retain higher moisture; we counter this by rigorously aging our paddy for 12-18 months in controlled silos to dehydrate the grain, eliminating the “mushiness” often found in cheaper, fresh-crop competitors. We utilize advanced Sortex technology to achieve 99.9% purity, removing all broken tips and chalky grains. With a raw Average Grain Length (AGL) consistently hitting 8.40mm to 8.50mm, our Pure Grade A 1509 offers the most impressive “plate coverage” in the industry—meaning a smaller quantity of raw rice yields a larger volume of cooked food. When you choose our 100% Pure Grade, you are securing a product that delivers maximum visual impact and profitability for commercial kitchens.

The Premium 1509 Basmati Rice we export contains a healthy balance of carbohydrates and proteins. It is processed to ensure non-sticky cooking results, making it the ideal “heavy-duty” rice for bulk cooking where grain separation is paramount.

1509 Basmati Processing Excellence

India is the sole global producer of 1509 Basmati. Premium Indian 1509 Basmati is renowned worldwide for:

  • Superior Processing Standards: Our mills use advanced steaming and parboiling (Sella) technology to harden the grain, ensuring it withstands rigorous commercial cooking processes without breaking.
  • Grade A Certification: Our Premium 1509 Basmati meets export-quality specifications regarding length (8.4mm+), purity, and moisture (12-13%).
  • Visual Excellence: Known as the “Queen of Length,” 1509 has a slender, needle-like appearance that elongates beautifully (up to 20-22mm) upon cooking.
  • Sustainability Leadership: 1509 is an environmentally friendly crop. It matures in fewer days than other varieties, saving up to 30% more water during cultivation, making it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious buyers.

Applications of Premium 1509 Basmati Rice in Manufacturing

Food Manufacturing & Foodservice Applications Premium 1509 Basmati Rice is the top competitor to 1121 in the HORECA sector:

  • Mass Catering & Banquets: This is the #1 application for 1509. Its extreme elongation means 1kg of cooked 1509 looks like 1.3kg of standard Basmati. Caterers prefer it for weddings and large events to maximize serving portions.
  • Commercial Biryani: Ideally suited for “Bucket Biryani” and takeaway businesses. The 1509 Sella variety is robust enough to handle the spices and meat weight of Biryani without clumping.
  • Pre-Cooked & Fried Rice: The firm texture of 1509 Steam makes it perfect for industrial fried rice production, where grains must remain separate during wok tossing.
  • Institutional Feeding: Used in hospitals, corporate canteens, and airlines where consistent quality and high yield are required on a budget.
  • Buffet Service: The grains remain firm and white for extended periods in chafing dishes, maintaining visual appeal for buffet guests.

  • “Extra Long Grain” retail packs (1kg, 5kg, 10kg)
  • Economy-Premium supermarket brands
  • Private Label “Biryani Rice”
  • Wholesale cash-and-carry distribution

Research and Laboratory Applications

Scientific Background: 1509 Basmati in Global Food Applications

Pusa Basmati 1509 was developed by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) to address water scarcity. It matures in just 115-120 days (seed to seed), compared to 145-150 days for other varieties. This rapid growth cycle creates a unique starch structure that requires careful aging (which we strictly provide) to prevent breakage and stickiness.

Traditional Indian Rice Processing Methods

  • Harvesting: Paddy is harvested early to prevent shedding.
  • Aging: Crucial for 1509. We age our paddy for minimum 12-18 months. Without this, 1509 can be brittle. Our aging process ensures the grain hardens sufficiently for milling.
  • Parboiling (Sella): Soaking paddy in hot water, then steaming and drying. This gelatinizes the starch, making the grain translucent and hard.
  • Steaming: For steam rice, paddy is steam-treated to prevent breakage during milling.
  • Sortex: Optical sorting to remove discolored tips.
  • Grading: Strict length grading to maintain the 8.4mm standard.
