On the export side, Vietnam’s 5% broken rice was offered at $382 a tonne this week, the same as last week, according to the Vietnam Food Association. A trader in Ho Chi Minh City said there had been no recent improvement in demand as not many new contracts had been negotiated.
Overall, the Asian rice export market remained subdued last week, with Indian prices falling slightly and Thai prices remaining stable. Weak demand kept buyers on the sidelines.
India’s 5% broken parboiled rice was quoted at $380-$385 a tonne, down from last week’s $382-$387. Meanwhile, India’s 5% broken white rice was quoted at $374-$380 a tonne this week.
Buyers are postponing purchases as prices in top exporting countries are in a correction phase, a trader in New Delhi said.
Thailand's 5% broken rice was quoted at $380 a tonne, unchanged from last week.
There are few buyers, so the outlook is not bright, said a Bangkok-based trader. Another trader said prices could fall in early August when the new crop hits the market.
Meanwhile, in Bangladesh, domestic rice prices remain high despite abundant reserves, hitting consumers hard.
Regarding the US agricultural market, corn futures prices on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) fell, while soybean futures prices also fell in the session on July 11, amid predictions that favorable weather will lead to bumper crops in the US.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) released its monthly report, which kept production estimates unchanged from the June report, but traders forecast that production will increase if weather conditions continue to be favorable.
Abundant rainfall across the country along with cooler temperatures could help boost corn yields, said Chuck Shelby, a broker with Risk Management Commodities.
Corn prices fell 4.25 cents to $4.1225 a bushel on July 11, near an eight-month low hit in late June. (1 bushel of wheat/soybeans = 27.2 kg; 1 bushel of corn = 25.4 kg).
Soybean futures fell 6.5 cents to $10.0725 a bushel, trading near a three-month low. Wheat futures closed down 9.5 cents at $5.45 a bushel on July 11, after rising to a one-week high.
The world coffee market showed that in the trading session on July 11, both Robusta and Arabica coffee prices were in the red. On the London floor, Robusta coffee prices for delivery in September 2025 decreased by 104 USD/ton to 3,216 USD/ton, while the delivery term in November 2025 decreased by 104 USD to 3,170 USD/ton.
On the New York floor, Arabica coffee prices also fell slightly to around 280-286 US cents/pound (1 pound = 0.45kg). The main reason for this sharp price drop is the abundant supply from Brazil and Indonesia, the two largest coffee exporting countries in the world.
In addition, information that the US imposed high tariffs on goods from Brazil and Indonesia disrupted the export market and further destabilized investor sentiment.
A sell-off by hedge funds ahead of the weekend, coupled with a depreciation of the Brazilian real and a strong US dollar, also contributed to pressure on global coffee prices.
Under pressure from the world market, on July 12, the domestic coffee market continued to record a sharp decline, with a decrease of 2,300-2,800 VND/kg in most key localities.
This is considered the deepest drop in over a year, bringing coffee prices to a new low, fluctuating around 89,500-90,300 VND/kg./.
