Glutinous Rice (Bora Rice)

Glutinous Rice (Bora Rice)

Bora rice is a traditional glutinous rice variety of Assam known for its sticky texture and use in ethnic dishes and cultural preparations.

Bora rice is a unique traditional variety widely cultivated and consumed in Assam, particularly for preparing ethnic foods and festive delicacies. Its distinct texture and cultural significance create strong demand in both local and niche markets. With rising global interest in traditional and specialty food products, Bora rice has potential for export to international ethnic and premium food markets. Opportunities exist in branding, packaging, and value-added product development. Fiscal incentives such as support for food processing units, packaging, and MSME development can encourage commercialization. Non-fiscal support, including GI promotion, quality certification, market linkages, and participation in trade fairs can help enhance visibility and market reach.
