Gobindobhog Rice GI 2017

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.

About Gobindobhog rice

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.

Questions buyers ask about Gobindobhog

Is Gobindobhog rice GI-tagged?

Yes. Gobindobhog received a Geographical Indication (GI) tag in 2017, recognising it as a premium traditional aromatic rice of West Bengal, similar to how Basmati is protected.

What is the price of Gobindobhog rice per MT?

Authentic Gobindobhog trades around ₹60,000–82,000 per MT ex-mill depending on grade and season, the premium end of the West Bengal range. Message Dhamrit on WhatsApp for today's rate.

Where is Gobindobhog exported?

Mainly to the UAE, UK and USA, largely consumed by the Indian and Bengali diaspora, plus strong domestic festive demand.

How do I know Gobindobhog is genuine GI-grade?

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.

What packing suits Gobindobhog for export?

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.

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

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.
