Many people may wonder why brown rice is more expensive even though it has not been completely polished like white rice. Today, Khao Thar will provide the answer.

Although it may seem that brown rice has fewer production steps than white rice, in reality, the production cost of brown rice is higher than white rice due to the following reasons…

    Brown rice is more susceptible to changes than white rice and can easily become rancid. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a better storage location and packaging than white rice, such as vacuum-sealed bags, which will further increase production costs.
  • Consumer demand:

    Even though people know that brown rice is more beneficial than white rice, most people still choose to eat white rice. Therefore, brown rice has a lower production capacity, resulting in higher milling costs, both in terms of machinery and other things.
