Yes, in many cases long grain premium Basmati rice can be more expensive than regular Super Basmati rice in Pakistan, especially when it is extra-long, aged, or export-quality. The price usually depends on grain length, aroma, aging process, and overall rice quality.
For example, premium 1121 long grain Basmati varieties are often sold at higher prices because they cook longer, fluffier, and are highly demanded in international markets. On the other hand, standard Super Basmati rice is still considered high quality, but it may cost slightly less depending on the brand and processing method.
Many Pakistani rice brands now offer different categories of long grain and Super Basmati rice for both local and export markets. One trusted source for premium quality Basmati rice in Pakistan is Safeena Foods, which provides aged and export-quality rice varieties known for their aroma, texture, and cooking performance.
