Thailand: Buying high-speed rail with rice

but seriously (i am not joking) , world best quality rise is in Pakistan, Pakistani basmati rise is best ,

for us which doesn't get sticky is good quality

Pakistani Basmati is the least cost variety of Basmati you can find in markets globally.
Indian Basmati is much more expensive.

Since I have never consumed Pakistani Basmati, I cannot judge on its quality. But i can correlate price to quality.

I tried those before and I have to say it really depends on personal preference and also the dishes you have to go along with the rice. Personally I prefer rice from Northeast China, the high latitude allows greater sun light and longer growth time, resulting in more starch accumulated in the grain.
 
.
Jasmine rice is alright, and it's a staple food for me, but I prefer sticky rice, since they are more softer and easier to use on chopstick.

You don't speak Filipino, you use chopstick...but you claim you are a Filipino??? False flagger found.

Jasmine rice if you add more water, it will come out really soft.

I love jasmine rice, Northeast, japanese or korean, basmati rice, I'm a 饭桶

I could never get used to South Asian rice (basmati) for some reason. Not because of the taste, but rather the "texture". And I guess they cook it with different types of herbs which give a different aftertaste.

I've tried it several times, but I can't get used to it.

Same with curry. The curry we get in China originated from Southeast Asia (Malaysia etc), it is very different from South Asian curry.

I think you can cook it plain, but basmati just doesn't go well with chinese cuisine in general, it's too fluffy. I like it though.

Home cooked Jasmine rice is great, not so good when eating out, most restaurants cook it too dry for my taste. So my preference would be the sticky short-grain type.

Curry in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, HK and China are similar in style I guess.

What's wrong with using chopsticks? I use it when I'm in a Chinese restaurant while I use fork and spoon at home. Also, it's better than using hands.

I don't speak Tagalog because I have been living in the UK for 7 years before moving to Australia in 2009.

Anyway, ignorance is a bliss.

I think it also has to do with total surplus of agricultural products. 2012 Thailand agriculture GDP is 46.0 billion and pakistan is 50.4 billion. Thailand populatin is 66.79 million and Pakistan is 179.2 million. So Thailand simply has a lot more agricultural products left over than Pakistan.

We have been investing in India's local rice market, we export it to many countries in the ME in addition to bringing to KSA.

I have tried both out. In my opinion, India's basmati is great while you are making Biriani while Pakistan's is good for plain white rice dish or Bhukarai

Here is the Bhukarai

Investing in India's rice market? How?
I didnt know that KSA companies owned farms in India?

Would surely like to try it out. As I said, I have never tried Pakistani rice, but I do know that they are sold at a fraction of the cost that Indian rice is sold for. Unfortunately Pakistani products are not widely available in India.

And btw, that picture is extra ordinarily tempting!


EDIT: Forgot to add not in the second last line.
Pakistani products are not easily available in India.

Yep, here are some Saudi rice companies My extended Saudi family - from father side - happens to run business in India as well. Their company is called ANZ


Many countries accuse us of being manipulator of rice market :smart: - I'm not talking about South Asian countries -

I think these are companies that import rice from India.

As far as I was aware, India does not allow foreign companies to farm directly in India. They allow farmers to sell directly to the MNC's ( like McDonalds), but they dont allow them to farm. I think Foreign companies cannot own agricultural land in India.

I believe this is allowed in Pakistan. Some Middle Eastern companies own farms in Pakistan and take what they produce back to their country after paying taxes.
Even some Indian companies do the same in Africa. Even Bangladesh owns farm lands in Africa.

Is that so? I think they do own farms, but if you are sure then it has got to be %100 true :smart:

Does the law differ from one province to the other?
