FERM has developed two Codes of Practice:
These documents establish a voluntary framework designed to support the authenticity, quality, and integrity of Basmati and Jasmine rice marketed within the European Union.
Developed and approved by the Federation of European Rice Millers (FERM), both Codes of Practice serve as a common reference framework for the sector. They define the key characteristics and criteria of Basmati and Jasmine rice respectively and promote consistent, transparent, and harmonized practices throughout the supply chain.
