Why buyers choose 1509
1509 matures faster in the field than 1121, which generally keeps farmgate and mill pricing more competitive. For buyers, that translates into a rice with a shorter grain than 1121 but still clearly recognisable as basmati in aroma and cooking character — a practical choice for price-sensitive retail tiers, foodservice programmes with tighter margins, and markets where 1121-level premium pricing isn't sustainable at volume.

Common export markets
1509 has grown rapidly across value-tier retail programmes in Europe, the UK and North America, and among foodservice buyers who need a genuine basmati at a price closer to non-basmati long grain. It's also a common entry point for new importers building out a basmati range for the first time.
Pricing and MOQ
As with our full range, FOB pricing moves with the crop and is quoted per enquiry rather than published, to keep it accurate. Tell us your pack size, processing and destination port for a current offer.
