Sourcing Thai Jasmine Rice: A Buyer's Guide

Thai Hom Mali (jasmine) rice is among the most sought-after rice varieties in the world, prized for its fragrance and soft texture. For international buyers, sourcing it well means understanding grade, certification and shipping terms.

Grades & quality

Top exporters offer 100% Grade A Hom Mali with ≤5% broken grains. Always request the current crop year and a representative sample before committing to volume.

MOQ & pricing

Typical MOQ is 25 tons (one container). FOB prices commonly range from $850–1,150/ton depending on grade, packaging and season. Confirm packaging (25kg PP woven bag, retail packs or private label).

Certifications to look for

HACCP and ISO 22000 cover food-safety management; GMP covers manufacturing practice; Organic and US FDA registration matter for regulated markets. On THAIMOST, suppliers can display Verified, Factory Audited and Certified badges — check which badges a supplier actually holds on their profile, and always confirm certificates directly with the issuing body for your own shipment.

Next step

Post an RFQ with your target quantity, destination and required certifications — Thai rice exporters on the platform can respond with competitive quotes.
