Surging wheat and corn prices are pushing Asian animal feed buyers toward low-grade broken rice for livestock rations. Importers in China, the largest feed market, are negotiating extra volumes of broken rice to fatten hogs and other animals.
Substituting broken rice for wheat and corn in feed tightens rice supplies and lifts rice prices while corn and wheat remain elevated. Feed buyers face higher costs across grain-based rations.
