Is 70% correct?. I thought Thailand and Vietnam were just as big of producers? (we get more rice from thailand/vietnam/cambodia/+ grow our own locally here in australia). I never buy basmati…

It’s quite a bit more expensive and only grows in specific regions

Basmati is the only top quality rice out there. The cheap stuff is okay but if you want to enjoy go with basmati
