You are here because you googled 1121 rice price in Pakistan and want the real numbers, not broker lies. Right now (25 Nov 2025), export-quality 1121 Kainat Steam sits at $1,100–$1,150 FOB Karachi. The exact same variety in local mandis? Rs 6,800–7,500 per 40 kg bag. That is a $425–525 per ton difference. One is built for Costco and Tesco shelves. The other is for Lahore weddings. I have been writing about Pakistan rice since 2017. US buyers message me every single day asking why they should pay export price when local looks half the cost. The answer has already saved them millions in rejected containers.

Google still shows 2023 rates. Quora is full of outdated quotes. Reddit r/ImportExport has fresh horror stories of importers who tried the “local trick” and lost $15,000–$40,000 per container. Let’s stop that today.

Live rates from Hafizabad, Kamoke, and Gujranwala mandis today:

· Fresh 1121 White → Rs 6,150–6,800 / 40 kg

· 1121 Steam → Rs 7,000–7,500 / 40 kg

· 1121 Sella → Rs 6,900–7,300 / 40 kg

That is Rs 154–188 per kg or only $675–740 per metric ton. Cheap on paper. Dangerous in practice.

Export 1121 Rice Price in Pakistan – What You Actually Pay For

FOB Karachi rates verified with REAP top-5 mills today:

· 1121 Kainat Steam → $1,100–1,150/MT

· 1121 Creamy Sella → $1,130–1,180/MT

· 1121 White → $1,050–1,100/MT

The $400+ gap buys you five things local rice will never have:

· 24-month natural aging in silos (local sells 4–8 months old)

· Laser + optical sorting (<0.8% broken, zero yellow grains)

· Vacuum-packed multi-layer bags (aroma stays locked for 18 months)

· Full traceability – QR code to the exact farm and harvest date

· Zero aflatoxin / pesticide failures – 38 months clean record

The $400 Gap in Plain Numbers – Why Export Wins Every Time

Local 1121 fails US/EU ports for these reasons 90% of the time:

· 3–7% broken or chalky grains

· High moisture → mold risk

· No aging → flat taste, short length when cooked

· No certificates → instant rejection

A New Jersey importer told me last week: “Saved $320/ton on local 1121. Paid $28,000 to destroy the container. Lesson learned.”

Even guard super kernel basmati rice follows the same rule – local Rs 6,500/40kg vs export $1,020/MT. Same gap, same story.
