About Sona Masoori rice

Sona Masoori is a lightweight, medium-grain rice with a mild aroma and a soft, fluffy cooked texture. It is grown mainly in the Deccan but traded widely, including through West Bengal, in steam and raw forms.

It is a daily premium rice for households that find basmati heavy and IR-grade plain. Demand is strong across South India, the Gulf and the wider diaspora. We supply it to a clean polish and grade with export documentation.

Questions buyers ask about Sona Masoori

What is the price of Sona Masoori rice?

Sona Masoori trades around ₹39,000–43,000 per MT ex-mill in mid-2026. Message Dhamrit on WhatsApp for today's exact rate.

Is Sona Masoori aromatic?

It is lightly aromatic, softer and more fragrant than IR-grade non-basmati, but milder than premium aromatics like Gobindobhog.

Which markets buy Sona Masoori?

Strong demand from the GCC, diaspora markets (USA/UK) and domestic premium retail.

What does Sona Masoori taste and cook like?

Sona Masoori is light and soft with a mild fragrance. It is less aromatic than basmati and far softer than IR-grade non-basmati, which makes it a popular everyday premium rice for South Indian and diaspora kitchens.

Do you export Sona Masoori in retail packs?

Yes. We supply Sona Masoori in printed retail packs from 1 kg to 25 kg and in 50 kg bulk, to your brand if required, with QC and export papers.

What is the Sona Masoori (Masuri) rice rate today?

Sona Masoori, also spelled Sona Masuri, is trading around ₹39,000–43,000 per MT ex-mill (₹39–43/kg) as of mid-2026. Message Dhamrit on WhatsApp for today's firm dated rate.

Is Sona Masoori known by a Bengali name, or is it a Bengal variety?

No. Sona Masoori is grown mainly in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana, and traded through West Bengal by volume rather than grown here. In Bengali trade circles it's usually just called Sona Masoori or Masuri chaal, with no separate GI or vernacular Bengal name. For a rice that is actually native to Bengal, ask about Gobindobhog or Tulaipanji, both GI-tagged and grown in-state.

How is the Sona Masoori price quoted — per kg, quintal or tonne?

We quote ex-mill in ₹ per metric tonne (MT). For reference, ₹39,000–₹43,000/MT is roughly ₹39–₹43 per kg, or ₹3,900–₹4,300 per quintal. Message us on WhatsApp for today's firm rate.
