White rice (medium or long grain).

What the chain gets, so far

We don't have a shelf price for this yet: we only use published or shopper-reported prices. Once there is one, what's left for the supermarket shows here. Add the price you paid.

The farmer or grower$0.57–$0.71
SunRice paddy price of $400 per tonne for the 2025 crop (CY25, medium grain, FY26 results) to its $500 per tonne fixed-price contract for the 2026 crop (CY26, conditional on a quality score, announced September 2025) ÷ 0.70 kg of white rice per kg of paddy (a 70% milled rice yield, the worked example in the University of Arkansas Rice Production Handbook) = 1.43 kg of paddy per kg of white rice = $0.57 to $0.71. Milling yield varies with variety and crop quality; a lower yield would raise this figure. Source
Processing and packingnot published
SunRice mills, packs and markets most Australian rice itself and doesn't publish its milling or packing cost per kilo, or what it charges supermarkets.
Freight and wholesalenot published
No miller or retailer publishes the per-kilo cost of trucking packed rice from the Riverina mills, or shipping imported rice, to stores.

Worth knowing

  • The grower price is for Riverina medium-grain rice. Long-grain and imported rice are priced differently, and if the rice is imported the grower is overseas: check the country-of-origin label.
  • The 2026 Australian rice crop is much smaller than 2025's because of drier conditions and lower water allocations, SunRice says, which can change what's in the pack and where it comes from.
  • We couldn't find a published 2026 shelf price for 1 kg of plain white rice from a survey or the press, so no shelf price is shown yet.
