U.S. exports of Rice (End-Use 00010) totaled $154.1M in August 2026, exported to 131 countries.
Last updated: August 2026 dataUS rice exports span long-grain milled, medium-grain, rough (paddy), and parboiled varieties, with the Gulf Coast serving as the primary export corridor. Phytosanitary certification from USDA APHIS is required for most destinations, and several key markets impose their own import protocols — including fumigation requirements and residue tolerances — that exporters must satisfy before loading. Long-grain rough rice destined for Latin American markets and medium-grain milled rice shipped to Northeast Asia represent two commercially distinct trade flows with different grade, moisture, and packaging specifications.

The US exports rough (paddy) rice, milled long-grain, milled medium-grain, and parboiled rice. Each type may require a separate phytosanitary certificate from USDA APHIS, and some destinations require fumigation certificates or specific moisture and broken-grain tolerances documented in the inspection certificate. Exporters should confirm destination-country import requirements well in advance of shipment.
Rough rice is typically shipped in bulk and is subject to stricter phytosanitary scrutiny because it retains the hull and bran layers that can harbor pests. Milled rice is more commonly shipped in bags or containers and faces fewer quarantine restrictions in most markets. The choice between rough and milled also affects the applicable Schedule B export code and may influence the importing country's tariff treatment.
