PK386 Rice from Pakistan
A fragrant long grain rice that bridges basmati and non-basmati segments. Popular in Iraq, Afghanistan, and East Africa for its aroma at a mid-range price point.
PK386 is Pakistan's fragrant non-basmati. Raw grain at 6.80mm with basmati-like cooking aroma at a non-basmati price. Classified as non-basmati under HS 1006.30 but fills the slot in markets that want fragrant rice without paying for grain length. Grown in Punjab.
Heavy demand in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, and Kenya. Iraq takes PK386 sella for biryani and Kabsa programs; Saudi distributors blend it into food service channels at half the basmati cost. FOB Karachi: $695-$800/MT (indicative), available white, sella, and parboiled. Standard 25kg and 50kg PP packaging. Minimum order: 5 x 20' FCL (~135 MT) for non-basmati. View current FOB prices.
