The Europe basmati rice market was valued at $491 million in 2016, and is estimated to reach $615 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2017 to 2023. Rice is neither a major crop nor essential food in Europe; however, it has ecological importance in numerous Mediterranean countries of Europe. Basmati is a type of aromatic rice, which is a long slender grain. The aroma is achieved by the ripening of the grain and is cultivated in India and Pakistan. Basmati rice and long grain Indica rice are the popular varieties of rice in Northern Europe. The Indian varieties of basmati rice that are approved for export to Europe are Basmati 370, Taraori Basmati, Basmati 386, Basmati 217, Pusa Basmati, Ranbir Basmati, and Super Basmati. Likewise, Pakistan varieties include Basmati 370, Kernel, Pusa Basmati, and Super Basmati.
In 2016, UK leads the Europe basmati rice market, in terms of both value and volume, followed by the Netherlands. Furthermore, in UK, the cost of this rice is expected to decrease, owing to the recent ban on basmati rice from Iran. The demand for specialty rice, such as Basmati rice, is rapidly growing in Europe, especially in Germany and the Netherlands, with the increase in rice consumption, which is expected to boost the market growth. In addition, tricyclazole is the fungicide used to protect the food crops, including rice crops, from blast disease, and European Union is expected to reduce the residue limit of this fungicide. However, stringent norms by the European Union to reduce the tolerance level of tricyclazole fungicide are expected to impede the basmati rice export from India.
