Product Details

Long Grain White Rice for Wholesale Supply

Long Grain White Rice is milled rice supplied for supermarket programs, food-service distribution, institutional catering, food manufacturing, retail packing and international wholesale trade. TG-Trading B.V. supports rice importers, wholesalers, distributors, supermarket procurement teams, restaurants, hotels, caterers, processors and other professional B2B buyers worldwide.

Buyers building a broader rice procurement program can explore the TG-Trading B.V. Rice category, which currently lists Long Grain White Rice together with Parboiled Long Grain Rice and other rice products. Origin, variety, milling degree, grain length, broken percentage, moisture, crop, packaging, MOQ and availability may vary according to current supply and buyer requirements.

What Is Long Grain White Rice?

Long Grain White Rice is milled rice from which the husk and most or all of the bran layers have been removed, producing the white appearance associated with standard milled rice. The Codex Standard for Rice CXS 198-1995 applies to husked, milled and parboiled rice intended for human consumption.

Codex defines milled rice as husked rice from which all or part of the bran and germ have been removed by milling. It also provides grain-length classifications and recognizes long-grain rice as a distinct commercial class based on kernel dimensions and length-to-width ratio.

For an independent international technical reference, buyers can consult the Codex Alimentarius Standard for Rice CXS 198-1995.

The exact variety, grain length, milling degree and cooking performance can differ between origins and suppliers. Buyers should therefore state their required physical and quality parameters rather than assuming every long-grain white rice shipment is identical.

Commercial Uses

Long-grain white rice is used across retail, food service, institutional catering and food manufacturing. Commercial applications include supermarket packing, restaurants, hotels, catering, ready meals, meal kits, bulk food-service supply and further processing.

The most suitable specification depends on the intended market. A retail packer may prioritize grain uniformity, appearance and low broken content, while a food-service buyer may emphasize consistent cooking and cost efficiency. Industrial processors may require precise moisture, broken percentage and foreign-matter limits.

5 Proven Commercial Uses

1. Supermarket and Retail Packing

Long Grain White Rice can be sourced for supermarkets, grocery chains and retail-packing programs. Buyers may require consumer-ready packaging or bulk rice for local repacking, depending on the available supply program.

Retail customers should state required pack format, label language, net weight, barcode requirements, origin declaration and any private-label needs before quotation.

2. Restaurants, Hotels and Catering

Restaurants, hotels, caterers and institutional kitchens may use long-grain rice for side dishes, rice bowls, pilaf-style preparations, buffet service and large-volume meal production.

Food-service buyers should specify expected order volume, preferred cooking characteristics, grain length and packaging format.

3. Ready Meals and Food Manufacturing

Long Grain White Rice may be used by manufacturers producing frozen meals, shelf-stable meals, meal kits and other prepared foods.

Processors should communicate requirements for grain integrity, broken percentage, moisture and cooking performance to help maintain consistency in finished products.

4. Institutional and Large-Volume Food Programs

Long-grain white rice can be supplied for institutional catering, schools, hospitals, contract catering and other large-volume food programs where the confirmed specification meets the buyer’s requirements.

Procurement teams should specify the applicable product standard, packaging, inspection, documentation and delivery conditions during the RFQ process.

5. Wholesale Rice Distribution

Importers and wholesalers can source Long Grain White Rice in commercial quantities for onward supply to supermarkets, food-service companies, processors, retailers and regional distributors.

Commercial terms should be based on confirmed quantity, destination, rice specification, packaging and required documentation.

Long Grain White Rice Specifications

Commercial Long Grain White Rice specifications can vary according to variety, crop, processor, origin and buyer requirements. Important procurement factors may include:

• Grain length and width
• Length-to-width ratio
• Milling degree
• Broken rice percentage
• Moisture content
• Damaged or discoloured kernels
• Chalky kernels
• Red or red-streaked kernels where applicable
• Foreign matter
• Paddy or husked-rice contamination
• Crop information where required
• Country of origin
• Packaging format
• Labelling requirements
• Documentation requirements

Codex CXS 198-1995 provides definitions for whole kernels, head rice and different broken-kernel categories, including large, medium and small broken kernels. Current Codex work also retains these definitions and associated ISO analysis methods.

TG-Trading B.V. does not assume one broken percentage, moisture limit, grain length or origin applies to every shipment. Exact parameters should be confirmed through the supplier specification or certificate of analysis where applicable.

Broken Rice Percentage

Broken-kernel content is one of the important commercial distinctions in milled-rice trade.

Codex distinguishes head rice from large, medium and small broken kernels according to the proportion of the average whole-kernel length remaining. Buyers may therefore specify a maximum broken percentage or another grading requirement according to their target market.

A buyer sourcing rice for retail presentation may request a lower broken percentage, while another buyer may accept a different specification for institutional, food-service or processing applications.

The required limit should be stated clearly in the RFQ. TG-Trading B.V. should not assume 5%, 10%, 15%, 25% or any other broken-rice percentage unless it has been confirmed for the actual product offered.

Milled Rice vs Parboiled Rice

Milled white rice and parboiled rice are different commercial products.

The Codex rice standard separately covers milled and parboiled rice. Parboiling involves hydrothermal treatment before final milling and changes the characteristics of the finished grain.

Buyers specifically seeking parboiled product can review Parboiled Long Grain Rice in the TG-Trading B.V. Rice category, where it is currently listed alongside this product.

The correct choice should depend on the buyer’s desired cooking characteristics, processing requirements and target market.

Grain Length and Appearance

Grain dimensions are important when purchasing Long Grain White Rice because the term “long grain” is based on measurable kernel characteristics rather than visual appearance alone.

The Codex rice standard classifies rice using grain length and length-to-width measurements. One long-grain classification uses a length-to-width ratio of 3.1 or greater.

A commercial buyer may also have private requirements for minimum average grain length, kernel uniformity, whiteness, milling degree or polished appearance.

These characteristics should be included in the purchasing specification where they materially affect the buyer’s product or retail presentation.

Packaging and Bulk Orders

Packaging for Long Grain White Rice can vary according to supplier, quantity, destination and buyer requirements.

Depending on the available program, supply may be arranged for retail packing, food-service use, industrial processing or bulk wholesale distribution.

Exact bag weights, consumer pack sizes, pallet configurations and container-loading quantities should not be assumed until confirmed in the quotation.

Buyers requiring private labels, printed bags, destination-language labels or specific bag materials should include those requirements in the RFQ.

International Sourcing and Distribution

TG-Trading B.V. coordinates international B2B sourcing and wholesale distribution of Long Grain White Rice according to current availability, destination and confirmed buyer requirements.

Commercial procurement considerations may include:

• Origin
• Variety
• Crop
• Milling degree
• Grain size
• Broken percentage
• Moisture
• Required quantity
• Packaging
• Destination port
• Inspection requirements
• Documentation
• Commercial terms

International buyers should communicate destination-specific food regulations, import requirements, labelling rules and inspection conditions before an order is finalized.

Storage and Handling

Milled rice should be stored under suitable dry, clean conditions and protected from moisture, pests, contamination and other conditions that may reduce commercial quality.

Exact storage temperature, shelf life and handling requirements can vary according to packaging, climate, supplier instructions and destination. These details should therefore be confirmed for the actual product and shipment rather than assumed.

Quality and Documentation

Professional rice buyers may require:

• Product specification
• Certificate of analysis where applicable
• Country-of-origin documentation
• Crop information where applicable
• Moisture results
• Broken-rice analysis
• Inspection documentation
• Packing list
• Phytosanitary documentation where applicable
• Shipping documents
• Labelling information
• Buyer-specific quality documents

Codex CXS 198-1995 covers quality factors for rice and includes provisions relevant to contaminants, hygiene, packaging, labelling and methods of analysis.

Any certification, pesticide-residue requirement, heavy-metal limit, inspection protocol or destination-specific document should be requested during quotation and confirmed for the actual supply offered.
