Gobindobhog is West Bengal's flagship aromatic rice: a short, plump, creamy-white grain with a natural sweet smell. It earned a Geographical Indication (GI) tag in 2017. Bengalis use it for payesh, the festival kheer, and it sells at a premium to diaspora buyers in the UAE, Kuwait and Canada. We source genuine GI-grade Gobindobhog, get it inspected, and handle the full export paperwork. It is the highest-margin rice we trade.
Gobindobhog is a short, round, creamy-white aromatic rice from West Bengal, with a soft sticky texture and a sweet, buttery smell. It carries a Geographical Indication (GI) tag awarded in 2017, which ties the name to rice grown in the state, mainly around Bardhaman and the Sundarbans.
It is a festive and premium rice, not a bulk one. Bengalis cook it for payesh, khichuri and special meals, and it sells at a premium to diaspora buyers in the Gulf, Canada and the UK. We source genuine GI-grade grain, verify it, and handle export packing and papers.

Mainly to the UAE, UK and USA, largely consumed by the Indian and Bengali diaspora, plus strong domestic festive demand.
Genuine Gobindobhog is short, round and creamy white with a natural sweet aroma, grown in West Bengal under the 2017 GI registration. Look-alikes are sold under the name, so we source from known Bardhaman mills and back it with third-party inspection.
Because it is premium and aromatic, Gobindobhog usually ships in small protective packs: 1 kg, 2 kg and 5 kg vacuum or BOPP retail packs, plus 25 kg bags for bulk. Good packing protects the aroma, which is part of what buyers pay for.
We quote ex-mill in ₹ per metric tonne (MT). For reference, ₹60,000–₹82,000/MT is roughly ₹60–₹82 per kg, or ₹6,000–₹8,200 per quintal. Message us on WhatsApp for today's firm rate.
