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 isn't for every dish. Except somepeoplee, most use it for specific dishes like Biriyani,etc. Its not suited for breakfast dishes or batter. So depending on what you use the rice for you might never need basmati.

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