India is one of the leading exporters of premium-grade basmati rice, an aromatic variety known for its long grains that add an exquisite fragrance to any dish. Although costly, demand for this specialty grain continues to increase around the globe, and Uganda is no exception. Ugandans consume an abundance of rice in their diet. Unfortunately, much of their supply doesn't originate domestically but is imported from other nations; Uganda is a growing importer of this premium rice. For example, Volza's import data indicates that between Jan 2022 and Dec 2023, Uganda sourced 81% of its Indian Basmati rice imports directly from India. This indicates what a fantastic market presence the Indian rice exporters have in the Uganda market. It is a further indication of the soaring volume of rice exports from India To Uganda by one of the leading rice exporters, Shiv Shakti International.
