Agriculture
Rootsbay's agriculture line starts with rice. We export white rice such as Sona Masuri, Gangavathi Sona and IR-20, aromatic Basmati, and red rice including Karnataka's heritage Rajamudi and Kempu Akki. Every variety is sold under its own name and packed for importers, wholesalers and distributors.

Questions buyers ask about Indian rice
Which rice varieties does Rootsbay export?
Rootsbay exports white rice — Sona Masuri, Gangavathi Sona, Rasi, IR-20, Jaya and Pragathi — along with aromatic Basmati and three red rices: Jyothi, Rajamudi and Kempu Akki. Each variety has its own page with its grain and typical uses.
What is the difference between Sona Masuri and Gangavathi Sona?
They are the same lightweight, medium-slender rice. Gangavathi Sona is Sona Masuri grown around Gangavathi in Karnataka's Koppal district, and buyers choose it as a premium grade with a named origin.
What is red rice?
Red rice keeps a red bran layer on the outside of the grain, which gives it its colour and a firmer bite than white rice. Rajamudi is a heritage red rice from the old Mysore region, and Kempu Akki is the Kannada name for Karnataka's traditional red rice.
Do you export Basmati rice?
Yes. Rootsbay supplies Basmati, India's aromatic long-grain rice, alongside the South Indian varieties. Tell us the grade and grain length you need when you ask for a quote.
What details come with a rice quote?
Each quote states the variety, grain length, moisture, broken percentage, crop year, packing and price basis. Ask for a sample if you want to check the rice before you order.
