Export market stagnates

Asian rice export markets were generally quiet this week. Indian rice exports fell slightly as buyers held back, with 5% broken parboiled rice prices falling to $380–$385 per tonne and 5% broken white rice prices falling to $374–$380 per tonne. Thailand kept prices at $380 per tonne, but weak buying interest kept the outlook bleak. Vietnamese 5% broken rice continued to be offered at $382 per tonne, but demand has yet to pick up.

Forecasts from FAO, USDA and BMI (Fitch Solutions) show that global rice production in 2025–2026 could hit a record, thanks to favorable weather conditions in major producing countries such as India, Vietnam and Bangladesh.
