> Thai and Vietnamese 5% broken rice export prices edged higher this week, with Thailand at about $390-$400 per ton, its highest in a month. India's quotes were broadly flat at $348-$356 as the weak rupee helped exporters. Buyers kept orders small, and Bangladesh opened imports to cool local prices.
