Has anyone tried growing basmati rice?

[Andyfez]

I thought I might swap from the usual next season.

Any thoughts?

Is it permitted? Thinking about cross contamination of  varieties.

Interested in knowing myself.

Here's the first customer if you do. I much prefer basmati over hom mali.

Interesting, you have a shed full of Basmati  rice, is they a buyer, the South Asian community in Thailand will buy it from you , can not imagine a locale Thai  buyer buying it , Thai's are to set in their  ways , my wife does not like Hom marlie no way she would eat Basmati. .

It would almost be niche marketing.

Well I know they grow it on some Royal projects.

I'll try contacting them.

As you say, a niche market 

The Indian communities in Bangkok and the south?
