PR-11 and PR-106 are high-quality long-grain hybrid varieties that have gained immense popularity as cost-effective alternatives to Basmati. While they lack the characteristic Basmati aroma, they offer a very similar non-sticky cooking experience and impressive grain elongation.

These varieties are extensively used in the hospitality industry, fast-food chains, and for large-scale catering because of their uniform grain length and ability to stay fresh for longer periods after cooking. They are particularly popular in Middle Eastern and European markets.
