Additionally, the demand for organic and non-GMO food products is on the rise, presenting a lucrative opportunity for brown rice producers. Moreover, the key trends indicate growing preference for convenience among consumers, leading to an increase in the availability of ready-to-eat brown rice products.

Furthermore, the market is at an interesting juncture with advancements in farming practices and technology offering the potential to overcome production challenges and meet the growing consumer demand efficiently.
The government has introduced several policies and schemes aimed at bolstering the country's brown rice market, focusing on sustainability, self-sufficiency, and health. Key initiatives include subsidies for farmers adopting eco-friendly cultivation practices, which improve the quality of brown rice and ensure the conservation of water resources. Additionally, grants and low-interest loans have been made available to entrepreneurs willing to invest in the processing and packaging of brown rice, encouraging local production and reducing dependency on imports. To promote consumption, public health campaigns highlight the nutritional benefits of brown rice over white rice, aiming to shift dietary habits towards healthier choices.
