CR1009 Garh Mota — High-Yield Short Bold Grain Rice
CR1009, popularly known as Garh Mota in West Bengal, is a short bold-grain non-basmati rice variety developed by NRRI Cuttack and IRRI. Widely cultivated across West Bengal, Odisha and Tamil Nadu, it was bred specifically for high-yield performance under waterlogged and flood-prone conditions — achieving up to 8.1 tonnes per hectare — making it one of the most productive and reliable varieties in Eastern India's paddy belt.
CR1009 stands out for its exceptional milling quality — a milling percentage of 69.8% and head rice recovery of 62.5%, with high amylose content (25%) and soft gel consistency that produces a soft, slightly sticky, filling cooked texture. These qualities make it a natural fit for idli, rice porridge, everyday steamed rice and one-pot dishes across South Asian and diaspora markets.
At SDEY Global Trade, we export premium CR1009 Garh Mota rice sourced from verified West Bengal mills — in 1kg to 50kg bags, FOB from Kolkata port, with full APEDA certification and export documentation.
Nutritional Benefits
Sustained Energy from Complex Carbs
Provides clean, steady energy through complex carbohydrates — ideal for active families, working adults and growing children as a daily staple.
High Amylose — Healthier Starch Profile
25% amylose content means slower starch digestion, a lower glycemic response and greater satiety than low-amylose varieties — better for blood sugar management.
Rich in B-Vitamins & Minerals
Good source of thiamine (B1), niacin (B3), phosphorus, magnesium and iron — supporting nerve health, bone strength and metabolic function.
Gluten-Free & Cholesterol-Free
Naturally gluten-free and cholesterol-free — safe for the whole family and fits seamlessly into heart-healthy and gluten-intolerance diets.
Easy to Digest
Soft gel consistency after cooking makes it gentle on the digestive system — suitable for the elderly, children and post-illness recovery meals.
Good Milling Recovery = Better Nutrition
High head rice recovery (62.5%) means less breakage and nutrient loss during milling — the rice retains more of its natural bran nutrients compared to lower-recovery varieties.
Culinary Versatility
Everyday Steamed Rice
Short, bold grains cook soft and slightly sticky — perfect for everyday meals with dal, fish curry and vegetables across Bengal, Odisha and Tamil Nadu.
Idli & South Indian Preparations
High amylose content and soft gel consistency make CR1009 officially recognised as suitable for idli making — a specific quality trait documented by TNAU researchers.
Rice Porridge & Kanji
The soft, cohesive texture when slow-cooked makes it ideal for rice porridge (kanji/pej) — a staple comfort and recovery food across South Asia.
Khichdi & One-Pot Meals
Bold grains hold their shape in mixed one-pot dishes — reliable for khichdi, vegetable rice and institutional bulk cooking where grain integrity matters.
Traditional Bengali Preparations
A traditional short-grain variety used in Bengali home kitchens for bhaat (boiled rice), panta bhaat (fermented rice) and curd rice preparations.
Food Processing & Institutional Use
High milling recovery and consistent short grain make it ideal for rice flour production, food processing and large-scale institutional kitchen use.
