Sona Masuri and IR-64 are both widely used, but they serve different needs.
Sona Masuri
A lightweight short-to-medium grain prized for everyday meals across South India. It cooks soft and non-sticky and is a favourite for home kitchens, idli and dosa batter.
IR-64
A long-grain variety recognised globally and widely traded for bulk, institutional and export supply. It's available in raw and boiled forms and suits container-scale orders.
