Why Buyers Choose the 10% Broken Grade

This grade is a practical middle ground — noticeably cheaper than our 5% broken specification while still delivering mostly intact, good-looking grains rather than the higher fragmentation of our 25% or 100% broken options. For buyers who don't need the tightest possible grain integrity but still want a presentable product, it's often the most cost-effective choice in our white rice line.

Traders and resellers in particular favor this grade because the pricing leaves meaningful margin while the rice still performs and looks the part on delivery.

Quality Control

Our rice goes through raw material selection from trusted suppliers, cleaning to remove stones and debris, modern milling and polishing, sorting and grading, and a final inspection before packaging. We source from established rice-growing regions in Thailand, and every export shipment meets standard international food safety documentation requirements.

Bulk Supply and Export

We supply White Rice 10% Broken from a flexible minimum order quantity through to full container loads and long-term supply agreements, with pricing that improves further at higher volumes. If you need a tighter specification, our White Rice 5% Broken and 100% Sortexed grades cover that end of the range, and if a higher broken-grain allowance works better for your budget, our 25% broken grade is available — the full product range lists everything else we export, including our parboiled rice line.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does 10% broken compare to your 5% broken grade?

Cooking performance is nearly identical — the difference is purely in grain integrity and price. If appearance matters more for your market, 5% broken is the better choice; if cost is the priority, 10% broken delivers similar eating quality for less.

Can I order a sample before committing to bulk?

Yes, samples are available so you can check quality and cooking behavior before placing a larger order.

What's your minimum order quantity?

Our minimum order quantity is flexible — tell us your target volume and we'll quote accordingly, from smaller trial orders through to full container loads.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes, we export globally and manage export documentation on our end.

Where This Rice Comes From

White Rice 10% Broken is milled from long and medium grain paddy grown across established rice-producing regions of Thailand — the same crop base as our other white rice grades, sorted to a different broken-grain specification. Harvest follows the standard Thai rice calendar, running roughly from November through January, and we buy on a rolling basis through the season to keep export stock available year-round.

Market Position of This Grade

A 10% broken specification occupies a well-established middle tier in global rice trade — tight enough to satisfy buyers who care about presentation, loose enough to undercut premium grades meaningfully on price. It's a grade that traders and resellers particularly favor, since the margin between cost and resale price tends to be favorable relative to both tighter and looser specifications.

Distributors serving cost-conscious retail and food service markets often default to this grade specifically because it delivers dependable quality without the premium attached to our 5% broken or sortexed products.

Pricing Factors

Pricing tracks the same broad market factors as our other rice grades — seasonal crop yield, global shipping costs, and order volume all play a role, with larger orders and repeat business earning better per-unit pricing than smaller one-off purchases. This grade sits in a competitive middle band, priced below our 5% broken and sortexed grades but above our 25% and 100% broken options.

Export Documentation

Every international shipment includes standard export paperwork — certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, and commercial invoice — handled on our end as a matter of course. If your country's import process requires additional documentation, such as a specific lab report or fumigation certificate, let us know before you place the order so we can confirm we can meet that requirement.

Working With Us as a Regular Supplier

Buyers purchasing this grade regularly — particularly traders, distributors, and food processors — often move to a standing order arrangement once they've confirmed quality and consistency across a few shipments. We can set up regular order schedules, agree on pricing that holds for a defined period, and time shipments around your inventory cycle, which cuts the administrative overhead of placing individual orders each time stock runs low.

More Frequently Asked Questions

Will the broken-grain percentage be consistent across shipments?

We test each batch to confirm it stays within the 10% ceiling. The exact percentage can vary somewhat batch to batch within that limit, but it will never exceed the specification you've ordered.

Can I request long grain specifically, rather than medium grain?

Yes — grain type is available as long grain or medium grain based on your specific request.

Do you provide documentation for customs clearance?

Yes — standard export documentation is included with every shipment, and additional paperwork is available on request depending on your country's import requirements.

How This Grade Compares Across Our White Rice Line

We offer Thai white rice across a full spectrum of specifications, from our fully sortexed and 5% broken grades at the premium end, through this 10% broken middle tier, down to 25% and 100% broken at the value end. White Rice 10% Broken sits right in the middle of that range — a genuine compromise grade rather than a compromise in the negative sense, since it delivers most of the visual quality of our tighter grades at a meaningfully lower price.

It's often the grade we'd suggest to a buyer who isn't sure which specification fits — noticeably more affordable than 5% broken while still looking and cooking like a quality product rather than a purely functional commodity grain.

A Practical Guide to Choosing Your Broken-Grain Percentage

If your customers will see the rice — on a shelf, on a plate, in packaging — appearance matters, and 10% broken is a reasonable middle-ground starting point before considering our tighter grades. If the rice is going into flour production, animal feed, or a heavily processed product, a higher broken percentage saves more without any real downside. If this is a first order and you're validating the product for your market, this grade is a sensible place to start before committing to either extreme.

We're happy to talk through your specific situation directly rather than leaving you to guess from a spec sheet — tell us what the rice is for and we'll recommend a grade rather than simply quoting whatever you ask for.

Consistency Across Batches

The 10% figure is a maximum ceiling, not a fixed target — a given batch may test somewhat lower depending on that particular milling run, but it will never test higher than the specification you ordered. We test every batch before packing specifically to confirm this, so each shipment is verified against the actual specification before it ships.

Sustainability in Sourcing

We source this grade from the same farms and mills as our other white rice products, prioritizing suppliers who manage land and water responsibly where sourcing allows for that choice. Consistent, fair purchasing relationships with growers season over season is part of how we maintain quality and reliable supply, rather than chasing the cheapest available source for each individual order.

Final Thoughts for Buyers Comparing Suppliers

If you're evaluating more than one supplier for White Rice 10% Broken, ask specifically about testing practices and batch consistency, not just quoted price — a supplier who tests every batch and can speak clearly to their process is more likely to deliver a product that performs the way you expect, shipment after shipment.
