The global market for rice-based products, estimated at approximately US$32 billion in 2022, is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 5.3 percent through 2030. This growth is driven by increasing consumer demand for gluten-free and organic products, as well as increasing awareness of the health benefits of rice.
Sarveshwar Foods specializes in the production and marketing of basmati and non-basmati rice. The company plans to leverage its expertise to meet the diverse culinary preferences of Middle Eastern consumers and optimize its supply chain through this strategic acquisition.
