Grade-Based Sourcing
Request 5%, 10%, 15% or 25% broken, then confirm the complete grain and quality specification before purchase.
Source Thai White Rice for bulk, wholesale, retail and food-service requirements. ThaiMahapoke supports international importers, wholesalers, distributors, supermarkets and food businesses with grade-based sourcing, buyer-defined specifications, export packaging and quotation coordination from Thailand.
Thai White Rice may be requested in 5%, 10%, 15% and 25% broken grade designations, subject to availability and final specification.
Product information is organized around the questions a procurement buyer must resolve before requesting a comparable quotation.
Request 5%, 10%, 15% or 25% broken, then confirm the complete grain and quality specification before purchase.
This page focuses on regular milled white rice. Thai Jasmine Rice and other fragrant varieties remain separate product categories.
Grain composition, milling, moisture, defects, crop requirement, sampling and inspection should be agreed in writing.
FOB or CIF terms are reviewed after grade, quantity, packaging, destination port and inspection requirements are known.
These commercial grade designations help buyers compare broken-kernel profiles. Availability, crop, packing and the complete specification are reconfirmed for every inquiry.
A lower-broken grade commonly evaluated when visual uniformity and a higher proportion of longer kernels are important.
A commercial grade that may balance kernel appearance and purchasing cost for retail, distribution or food-service programs.
A grade with a higher broken-kernel allowance than 5% or 10%, considered where the buyer or tender specification permits it.
A value-focused grade for requirements that permit a higher broken-kernel component, subject to the full approved specification.
Availability note: Listing a grade does not guarantee current stock, a fixed specification or a fixed price. Every grade is confirmed upon inquiry and subject to the final sales contract.
Use the grade as a starting point, then compare the full specification, approved sample, packaging, inspection scope and Incoterm.
| Grade | Relative uniformity | Commercial positioning | Buyer consideration |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5% Broken | Higher among these four grades | Appearance-led retail, premium wholesale and presentation-sensitive food service | Evaluate when longer, more visually uniform kernels are a priority |
| 10% Broken | High to moderate | Mainstream retail, distribution and food service | Often considered as a balance between appearance and target cost |
| 15% Broken | Moderate | Value-oriented wholesale, food service and institutional buying | Confirm whether the destination or tender specification permits this grade |
| 25% Broken | Lower than 5%, 10% and 15% | Cost-sensitive bulk and institutional requirements | Evaluate cooked result, customer expectations and full grain-composition limits |
The percentage is a commercial grade designation associated with the permitted proportion and size distribution of broken kernels. It is not the complete technical specification and should not be reduced to a simple “95% whole kernels” marketing claim.
Choose by end use, desired appearance, cooked-rice result, destination requirements and target landed cost. Compare quotations only when suppliers quote the same specification and commercial scope.
A complete specification should address whole kernels, head rice, broken sizes, milling degree, moisture, defect tolerances, paddy, foreign matter, crop requirement and the agreed sampling or inspection method. Current pricing is confirmed through an inquiry-specific quotation.
Thai White Rice is milled, non-glutinous rice from Thailand. During milling, the husk and most or all of the bran layers are removed, leaving white kernels with a neutral taste and a versatile cooking profile.
For sourcing purposes on this page, Thai White Rice means regular non-fragrant milled white rice, commonly requested in long-grain commercial grades. It is distinct from Thai Jasmine or Thai Hom Mali Rice, parboiled rice, brown rice, sticky rice and 100% broken rice.
This table is a purchasing framework, not a guaranteed certificate of analysis. Final values and tolerances belong in the quotation, approved specification, contract or shipment documents.

If intact-kernel appearance is not important and the process can accept a broken-rice grade, compare the separate Thai Broken Rice page rather than buying a white-rice grade the application does not require.
Quality should be documented through an agreed specification, sampling method and inspection scope—not through broad phrases such as “premium quality” alone.
Any certificate, test report, phytosanitary document, fumigation document or certificate of origin must be verified as applicable to the specific shipment. It is not promised automatically on this product page.
