Concerns are rising in Mongolia regarding the quality of imported rice, with consumers reporting issues like unpleasant odors and tastes. This contrasts with the popularity of domestically trusted brands like Sakura, which holds 35% of the market share and is consistently restocked for freshness. Sakura has maintained consumer trust for 13 years due to its rigorous quality control, from harvesting and cleaning to optical sorting and specialized packaging, preserving moisture and ensuring consistent quality. The article highlights the importance of understanding the traditional methods of rice cultivation and preparation in Asian cultures, and choosing rice that meets quality standards. Consumers are encouraged to consider Sakura as a reliable option, especially those experiencing difficulties with cooking imported varieties. The brand’s name, “Suvdan Tsagaan” (meaning “fragrant white”), reflects its valued qualities and sustained demand.
