MYANMAR RICE
Formerly known as the “rice bowl” of the world, Myanmar maintains its strong rice growing tradition and is home to hundreds of rice varieties. We supply several varieties of the fine and delicate Pawsan strain found only in Myanmar, as well as a range of long grain Emata from around the nation.

is a unique rice strain from Myanmar that is famous for its delicate aroma and fine fluffy texture. After cooking, it transforms from a raw short grain into a long grain three times its original length. The strain’s non-sticky texture makes it great for frying or mixing into a salad, and tastes equally delicious hot or cold. It rose to international fame when it was judged the best rice strain at the 2011 World Rice Conference.
Shwe Pawsan is dedicated to bringing Myanmar's unique rice strains to the global market. We specialise in selecting the best quality rice and work closely with farmers and local rice mills, to ensure fair trade, quality assurance and eco-friendly practices.
Paddy or unmilled rice is sourced directly from farmers to promote FAIR TRADE, ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY and INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS in local rice production. This also enables us to ensure CONSISTENCY and TRACEBILITY that enhances the quality control of our rice.
