Indian's have the culture of living in joint families where people used to work together and have their meal together. The main component of the meal used to be the rice which is still the tradition. In India, no meal is complete without the inclusion of rice in the dish. Rice has been the regular food staple in Indian diet weather you are from eastern, southern, western or from the northern part of the country. Two main components of rice that are being consumed in India which are basmati considered as premium rice products which are consumed occasionally and the regular rice being used in daily diet. An approximate consumption of rice in India previously used to be around 71 kgs a year which is now expected around 74 kgs a year. Previously the rural regions used to be the higher consumers of rice compared to the urban areas but at present things are getting changed as the consumption of rice in urban region is increasing. The reason for the increase in the urban use is due to the rise in urbanization and its consumption through packed as well as the unpacked has raised.

Overall rice market also includes the value generated from the export as India is the major rice exporting nation which contributes nearly 25% of global rice export and followed by Thailand, Vietnam, Pakistan and China among the top five nations.

The overall rice market is then further segmented into the domestic market which has the presence of both organised as well as an unorganised market. The unorganised market covers a large portion of Indian domestic rice market which includes small retails stores, local companies which are mostly available in Tire 2, Tire 3 cities and the rural ones.

Another segment of domestic rice is the organised (packed) rice segment. The packed segment of rice has shown a right amount of growth over the last few years. This growth was factored due to the increase in the urbanization, increase in purchasing power of consumer and the awareness about the quality of packed rice product. Previously the rice was only available through small retail stores and Kirana stores the consumers used to purchase them in large quantity owing to the large size of the family. As the size of the family started getting smaller and the rice consumption of a family keep getting lesser, the packed rice segment came into the picture which comes various pack sizes such as 1kg, 2kg, 5kg and 10kg. Packed rice companies are still to explore the Tire 2 and Tire 3 cities entirely because of the logistic hurdle to transport the packages of smaller quantity to very remote places. The sale of packed rice through online and modern trade has increased, which have allowed the companies to display its products and also allowed the consumers to get it at their desired location. The consumer's awareness towards health rice section has increased over the years, which have included brown rice and organic rice in their consumption list.

Black rice is the new trend in India rice market which is at present produced in a few selected states of the country but with its high nutritional value is able to put-up a competition against brown and organic rice._x000D_
