Rice futures traded above $10.70 per hundredweight, reaching three-month highs as supplies tightened despite an ample global outlook. Indian export prices firmed after higher paddy costs and government procurement reduced marketable supplies, and spot availability in Rio Grande do Sul stayed constrained as producers prioritized export commitments.
Tighter origin supplies from a narrow group of exporters can lift nearby prices quickly, even though the broader global balance remains comfortable. Buyers should expect firmer rice prices while these origin constraints persist.
