Factors supporting the price

The supply of high-quality rice is not very abundant.
Export demand remains strong.
The company continues to procure supplies to fulfill export orders.

Factors that cause stress

Domestic trading activity remains slow.
Competition from India and Pakistan is growing stronger.
Some major import markets have slowed down their purchasing pace.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the market will continue to be polarized: fragrant rice and high-quality rice will maintain good prices, while common varieties are unlikely to see a sharp increase.
