The market for brown rice is likely to expand because it’s rich in vitamins B1, B3, and B6. Companies are putting money into whole grains to keep up with the demand for high-fiber foods. Also, the rise in obesity rates is increasing worldwide demand for these products. The trend towards organic food is expected to help the market grow, especially with more whole grains getting FDA approval.
