Chokuwa saul is a variety of semi-glutinous rice found in Assam, India. The sticky rice of Assam is traditionally classified as bora (glutinous) and chokuwa (semi-glutinous) based on their stickiness after cooking. It has an important role in Assam.

In 2016, an organization called Seuj Satirtha in Sivasagar district in collaboration with the Assam Agricultural University applied for geographical recognition of chokuwa rice. The 124th edition of the journal published by the Geographical Identification Registration Department of the Government of India on 24 October 2019 granted a geographical indication (GI) tag to chokuwa rice.
