Rice prices have fallen to their lowest level since 2019 as surging Asian production creates a global supply overhang. Some importing nations have introduced trade barriers to protect domestic producers, and US rough rice futures reached $10.72 per hundredweight.
Import curbs by major buyers reduce export outlets just as supplies are abundant, which keeps global rice prices under downward pressure. Feed and food buyers should expect soft pricing to continue.
After 141 past bearish trade events, Rough Rice moved a median +0.6% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -2.3% to +2.4%), and -0.6% over 20.
