The market
Demand in Saudi Arabia
Strong, steady demand for non-basmati white and steam rice across retail, households and the Kingdom’s large catering and hospitality sector.
Labelling and compliance are where shipments most often go wrong here, and where a supplier who has done it before is worth more than a slightly cheaper one who has not.
