Why the 25kg Bag Is So Popular
We pack rice in everything from 1kg to 50kg, but the 25kg bag is the one wholesalers keep coming back to. Here’s why.
- One person can lift it safely, which matters in shops, kitchens and small warehouses.
- Many countries have workplace rules that limit how heavy a sack can be for manual handling, and 25kg fits comfortably.
- Restaurants get through a 25kg bag in a few days, so the rice stays fresh.
- The cost per kilo is only a little higher than a 50kg bag.
- It’s easy to stack and count, and easy for customers to buy.
For a wholesaler buying long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale, that means stock moves faster and with less waste than either huge sacks or tiny retail packs.
What We Sell in 25kg Bags
All of these are Thai long grain white rice, milled and polished. The difference is the share of broken grains allowed and how much sorting we do.
- Thai white rice 100% sortexed, colour-sorted for a clean, even look.
- White rice 5% broken, our tightest standard grade.
- Thai white rice 10% broken, a good middle option.
- White rice 25% broken, the value grade for price-led markets.
Alongside long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale orders, we can also pack Thai jasmine rice and Thai parboiled rice in 25kg bags if you want to mix them into the same container.

Bag Options for 25kg Packing
A long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale order can be packed several ways. The bag you pick affects price, shelf appeal and how well the rice travels.
| Bag type | What it’s good for |
|---|---|
| Plain PP woven bag | Lowest cost, strong, standard for wholesale |
| Printed PP woven bag | Your brand or product name on a strong bag |
| BOPP laminated bag | Bright full-colour printing for shop display |
| Bag with inner PE liner | Extra moisture protection on long voyages |
| Jute-look or cotton bag | Premium look for some markets |
All bags are machine-stitched and marked with the details your import rules require, such as product name, net weight, origin, crop year and packing date. Private label artwork usually adds two to four weeks, because the bags have to be printed first. Read rice supplier for supermarkets if you’re building your own label.
How Many 25kg Bags Fit in a Container?
A 20ft container takes about 25 metric tons of bagged rice. That’s roughly 1,000 bags of 25kg. A 40ft container can hold more bags by volume, but road and port weight limits usually stop it carrying much more than a 20ft, so most long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale orders move in 20ft boxes. Our guide on how many tons of rice fit in a 20ft container has the loading details.
You can split one container between grades. For example, 600 bags of 5% broken for your restaurant customers and 400 bags of 25% broken for your price-led shops.
Price for Long Grain White Rice 25kg Bag Wholesale
We quote in US dollars per metric ton, then you can turn it into a price per bag. Thai white rice 5% broken has been trading roughly in the 440 to 490 dollar per ton range FOB in recent months, with 25% broken somewhat below that. These figures move every week, so treat them as a guide. The Thai Rice Exporters Association publishes weekly reference prices you can check.
To get a per-bag figure, multiply the price per ton by 0.025. At 460 dollars a ton, a 25kg bag works out to about 11.50 dollars FOB, plus a small amount for the bag itself if it’s printed or laminated.
| Grade | Example FOB per ton | Example per 25kg bag |
|---|---|---|
| White rice 5% broken | 460 USD | about 11.50 USD |
| White rice 10% broken | 450 USD | about 11.25 USD |
| White rice 25% broken | 430 USD | about 10.75 USD |
These are examples only. Your quote will show the real long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale price for your grade, bag type, quantity and port, with a validity date. For more on pricing, see Thai white rice 5% broken price per ton and Thai white rice 25% broken price per ton.
Which Grade Should You Choose?
This comes down to who you sell to.
- Restaurants, hotels and caterers usually want 5% broken or sortexed rice. Whole grains look better on a plate.
- Shops in price-sensitive neighbourhoods often sell more 25% broken, because the price per bag is lower and the rice cooks and tastes the same.
- Food factories making fried rice, rice dishes or ready meals often pick 10% or 25% broken.
- Supermarkets with their own label usually choose 5% or sortexed rice, because shoppers look closely at the grains through the bag.
If you’re unsure, start with a split container. You’ll learn quickly which long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale grade your customers reorder.
How Thai Long Grain White Rice Cooks
Thai long grain white rice cooks soft and fluffy, with separate grains and a mild, clean smell. It takes roughly 15 to 18 minutes with about 1 part rice to 1.5 to 2 parts water, depending on the pot and how soft people like it. It isn’t sticky like glutinous rice or as fragrant as jasmine rice, which makes it a good all-purpose rice for many cuisines.
Broken percentage doesn’t change the taste. A 25% broken rice simply has more short pieces in the pot. For dishes like fried rice, rice with stew or rice bowls, most diners won’t notice the difference. If you want to compare it with rice from the US, read Thai long grain rice vs American long grain rice.
Long Grain, Medium Grain or Parboiled?
Some buyers ask for long grain white rice when what their customers really want is something else. It’s worth checking before you place a long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale order.
Long grain white rice cooks fluffy and separate. It suits most Asian, African, Middle Eastern and Latin dishes where rice is served alongside something else. Medium grain rice is a little shorter and softer, and it clumps more, which some Caribbean and Latin American cooks prefer. You can read more in medium grain vs long grain rice for Latin dishes.
Parboiled rice is steamed in the husk before milling. It holds its shape better, survives long cooking and reheating, and is popular in West Africa, the Caribbean and parts of the Middle East and South Asia. If your customers cook big pots that sit for hours, parboiled might suit them better than white rice. See parboiled rice vs white rice.
Planning a Regular Supply
A single container is a good way to start. But most of our long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale customers settle into a rhythm, often one container a month or every six weeks. Once we know your pattern, we can book milling slots ahead of time, keep printed bags in stock for you and hold your price steadier from one shipment to the next.
It also helps you. Regular, smaller shipments keep your warehouse lighter and your rice fresher. If you’d like to set up a supply plan, tell us your yearly volume and the grades you need, and we’ll propose a shipment schedule.

Plain bag long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale orders often load in two to four weeks from contract. Printed bags take longer. For a broader view of the process from your side, see how to import rice from Thailand.
Quality Control and Inspection
Every lot goes through our own lab before packing. We check moisture, broken percentage, damaged and chalky grains and foreign matter. The rice is colour-sorted where the grade calls for it. Then an independent inspection company samples the bags at loading and issues a quality and weight certificate.
We keep a sealed reference sample from every shipment. If your customers raise a problem months later, we can check it against the sample. You can read more on our quality control page.
Documents That Come With Each Shipment
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- Bill of lading
- Certificate of origin
- Phytosanitary certificate
- Fumigation certificate
- Quality and weight certificate from an independent inspector
Extra papers, such as a halal certificate, health certificate or lab tests, can be arranged if your country requires them. Full details are in rice export documents.
Payment and Shipping Terms
We sell FOB, CFR and CIF. On a first long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale order, most buyers pay a 30% deposit by bank transfer and the balance against a copy of the bill of lading, or use a letter of credit at sight. The ICC Incoterms rules explain who covers what under each term. Our post on FOB vs CIF rice price shows how freight changes the price per ton.
5 Proven Tips for Buying Long Grain White Rice 25kg Bag Wholesale
After packing thousands of these bags, we’ve seen what separates smooth orders from painful ones. Here’s what we’d tell a friend.
- Match the grade to your customers, not to the cheapest price. A restaurant that gets 25% broken when it expected 5% won’t reorder.
- Ask for the bag weight tolerance in writing. Good mills fill to net weight, and the inspector checks it.
- Pay a little more for an inner liner if your port is hot and humid or the voyage is long.
- Approve printed artwork early. Bag printing is usually what delays a first order, not the rice.
- Order samples from the actual lot and cook them, then keep part of the raw sample sealed to compare with the shipment.
Follow those five and your long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale business will run with far fewer surprises.
Weight Accuracy and Bag Marking
Short weight is one of the most common complaints in the rice trade. A bag marked 25kg that holds 24.6kg might not sound like much, but over 1,000 bags that’s 400kg of rice you paid for and didn’t get.
We fill every bag on calibrated scales, and the independent inspector checks a sample of bags for net weight at loading. Their weight certificate travels with your documents. If you sell by the bag in your market, ask any supplier of long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale stock how they control fill weight. A clear answer is a good sign.
Marking matters too. Most countries want the product name, net weight, country of origin and some form of date on the bag. Some also want the importer’s name and address, or the label in a local language. Tell us your rules before we print and we’ll get it right first time.
Common Problems and How We Avoid Them
These are the problems we hear about from buyers who’ve had bad experiences with other suppliers, and what we do about each one.
- Torn bags. We use bags strong enough for rough handling and stitch them by machine. Damaged bags are replaced before loading.
- Damp rice. We keep moisture at 14% or below and recommend container liners or desiccant bags on long routes.
- Insects. Every shipment is fumigated before it leaves, and you get a fumigation certificate.
- Wrong grade. The inspector checks broken percentage and other specs against the contract before the container is sealed.
- Mixed-up bags in a split container. We load each grade in a separate block with clear marks, so your warehouse team can unload without sorting.
Who Buys 25kg Bags From Us
Our long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale customers include:
- Importers and distributors who resell to shops and markets.
- Cash-and-carry and wholesale clubs.
- Restaurant and catering suppliers. See bulk jasmine rice for restaurants for our food service range.
- Schools, hospitals and other institutions that cook in volume.
- Food manufacturers. See rice supplier for food manufacturers.
- Aid and relief buyers who need sturdy, easy-to-carry bags.
Storing 25kg Bags Properly
Rice is fairly tough, but it doesn’t like heat, damp or pests. Stack bags on pallets so air can move underneath, and keep them a little away from walls. Don’t stack higher than your bags can safely take, usually ten to fifteen bags for woven sacks, less for laminated ones. Keep the warehouse dry and check it regularly for insects and rodents.
Sell the oldest stock first. Long grain white rice keeps well for a year or more, but fresher rice cooks better, and customers notice. Good storage protects the value of every long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale order you bring in.
Mixing Rice Types in One Container
Plenty of our buyers don’t want a whole container of one thing. They’ll take white rice for everyday customers, some jasmine rice for Asian shops, and a few hundred bags of parboiled rice for restaurants that cook it. All of that can go in one 20ft container, as long as the total weight stays around 25 tons.
Mixing lets smaller wholesalers offer a wider range without carrying too much of any one item. Just list how many 25kg bags of each product you want and we’ll quote them together on one contract.
Why Buy Direct From a Thai Mill
You can buy long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale stock from traders in many cities. Some are excellent. But when you buy from the mill, you deal with the people who grade, sort and pack your rice. If you want a different bag, tighter sorting or a change to the marking, it happens on our line, not after a string of emails between middlemen.
Thailand also has a long track record in rice exports and clear grading rules, which gives buyers confidence. Thai long grain white rice is known for clean, well-milled grains and steady quality from one lot to the next. That consistency is what keeps a long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale customer reordering instead of shopping around every month.
Finally, a mill can tell you the truth about timing. We know when paddy is coming in, when the lines are busy and when a price is likely to move. Ask us, and we’ll tell you plainly whether it’s a good week to book your next long grain white rice 25kg bag wholesale container or whether waiting a little might help.
