Pakistan<br />

A<br />

nnu<strong>al</strong><br />

rough rice production in Pakistan was 4.8 million t in<br />

1989 (FAO 1990b). Annu<strong>al</strong> consumption <strong>of</strong> milled rice per<br />

capita in 1979-81 was 23 kg (FAO 1984) and 21 kg (Duff 1991)<br />

or 19.2 kg (RCMD 1989) in 1988. Milled rice supply per capita in 1986-<br />

88 was 16 kg (FAO 1990a, IRRI 1991). About 95% <strong>of</strong> Pakistan’s rice<br />

production is concentrated in Punjab and Sind (D<strong>al</strong>rymple 1986).<br />

In Punjab, 1.1 million ha are grown to Basmati rice and 0.1 million<br />

ha to IR6-type rices (A. Majid, Rice Research Institute, 1990, pers.<br />

commun.). More than 80% <strong>of</strong> the 1989 Basmati crop is Basmati 385<br />

(PK487), which has yielded 50% more than Basmati 370. Mehran 69<br />

(IR6-156-2) is the princip<strong>al</strong> vari<strong>et</strong>y in the Dokri region. Mark<strong>et</strong> samples<br />

<strong>of</strong> Basmati had intermediate AC; IRRI-6 had high AC (RCMD 1987,<br />

1989).<br />

<strong>Rices</strong> from Pakistan had mainly intermediate-high AC, low GT,<br />

and hard GC (Table 5). Both fine aromatic, elongating Basmati-type<br />

rices and coarse IR6(Mehran)-type rices from Pakistan were repre-<br />

sented (Appendix).<br />

<strong>Grain</strong> was medium or long, and slender or medium-shaped. Good<br />

Basmati rices had uniformly ch<strong>al</strong>ky grain, intermediate AC, low GT,<br />

and medium GC (represented by the Punjab crop). The Dokri crop had<br />

intermediate GT and less elongation. Basmati 385 had properties<br />

similar to those <strong>of</strong> Basmati 370, including elongation, but it yielded<br />

more. Mehran 69 had b<strong>et</strong>ter eating qu<strong>al</strong>ity than IR8, but similar<br />

properties (high AC, low GT, hard GC), probably because <strong>of</strong> its more<br />

slender grain. Both Mehran 69 and Basmati rices were exported.<br />

Basmati-type rices gave lower Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back and consistency<br />

and cooked rice Instron hardness than IR6-type rices.<br />

Cooked rice hardness correlated significantly with AC ( r = 0.65**,<br />

n = 28), Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back ( r = 0.69**, n = 19) and consistency<br />

( r = 0.62**), and <strong>al</strong>k<strong>al</strong>i spreading v<strong>al</strong>ue ( r = 0.54**, n = 28). Amylose<br />

content <strong>al</strong>so correlated with Amylograph s<strong>et</strong>back ( r = 0.74**, n = 33) and<br />

consistency ( r = 0.66**). Gel consistency and <strong>al</strong>k<strong>al</strong>i spreading v<strong>al</strong>ues<br />

were correlated ( r = –0.47**, n = 55).<br />
