What these prices include

How Thai rice grades are named

Hom Mali 100%
Thailand's fragrant jasmine rice, long grain, from the main crop. The premium grade and the most expensive.
Thai fragrant rice / Pathum Thani
Aromatic rice that is softer and cheaper than Hom Mali. Pathum Thani is a widely grown fragrant variety.
White rice 5% / 25% / 100%
The percentage is the maximum share of broken grains allowed. 5% is a high grade; 25% is common in West Africa; 100% grade B is fully milled long grain.
Parboiled rice
Steamed in the husk before milling, which hardens the grain and keeps more nutrients. The largest and fastest-growing Thai export category.
Glutinous (sticky) rice
Short grain rice used across mainland Southeast Asia. KD.6 from Isan and San Pa Tong from Chiang Mai are the two main types.
Broken rice (A1 Super, C1)
Grains broken during milling, sold by size. Cheaper than whole grain and used for food processing, brewing and animal feed.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Thai jasmine rice cost per tonne?

Thai Hom Mali (jasmine) rice 100% is 1,176 US dollars per metric tonne FOB Bangkok as of 2026-10-07. Broken jasmine grades cost considerably less.

What is the cheapest Thai rice for import?

Broken grades are the cheapest whole-lot rice: Thai Jasmine Rice Broken 100% A1 (Fragrant) is 384 US dollars per tonne FOB. Among unbroken grades, white rice 25% at 453 US dollars per tonne is the usual entry point for high-volume buyers.

Which Thai rice is most used in West Africa?

Parboiled rice, by a wide margin — it is the staple form across Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana and much of West Africa, and it is also Thailand's largest and fastest-growing rice export category. Thai parboiled rice 100% is 481 US dollars per metric tonne FOB Bangkok. White rice 25% at 453 US dollars is the other high-volume grade for the region.

Why is parboiled rice preferred for import?

Steaming the paddy in the husk before milling hardens the grain, so it breaks less in transit and handling, keeps more of the vitamins from the bran, and stays separate when cooked. It also stores better in hot, humid climates — which is why it dominates in West Africa.

What is the minimum order quantity?

One 20-foot container, which holds up to 25 metric tonnes. Smaller trial lots of retail bags can be arranged by courier.

Do these prices include shipping?

No. They are FOB Bangkok, meaning the rice is loaded onto your vessel at a Thai port. Ocean freight is charged per container, not per tonne, so the cost per tonne falls as the container fills.

How often do the prices change?

Thai export prices are re-published weekly and we follow that cycle. The prices on this page were last set on 2026-10-07.

Can I get a sample before ordering?

Yes. Sample bags are sent for the cost of courier delivery. Contact the export desk with the grade you want to test.
