Doha is one of the top importers, buying around 1.3 million tons annually. Doha has raised the quality standards for rice import tenders, but carrying out different quality assurance tests, it is not difficult to obtain perfect rice for Doha . Private sector imports of rice are growing rapidly in Doha . A number of private sector food importers are currently importing, promoting, and distributing Indian basmati rice in major Doha markets. Since end-September last year, Doha has purchased around 300,000 metric tons from India and another country in a series of tenders, subject to pre-shipment clearance of samples.
Premium quality rice in bulk quantities can be easily imported to Doha from India as there are all latest laboratories available in India to test rice for any standards applicable in the world at present. India exports almost 4 million tons of rice to different parts of the world and is the 4th largest exporters in the world.
