Pakistan's export of rice to China crossed 277.56 million dollars in the first five months of Financial Year 2021-2022, up 9.73 percent year-on-year bases.

Commercial Counsellor of the Pakistani Embassy in Beijing Badar uz Zaman said that currently broken rice, especially IRRI-6, IRRI-9, and semi or wholly milled rice are the main varieties of rice exported to China.

Badar uz Zaman said that Pakistan remains one of the major broken rice suppliers to China.

He said that China relaxed import restrictions on Pakistani rice which helped rice export to China.

He believes that within a few years Pakistan will become the largest rice exporter to China.
