Indian 5% broken parboiled rice rose to $544-$552/t, near a three-month high, after India raised its paddy procurement price 5.4% to 2,300 rupees per 100 kg. Thai 5% broken slipped to $615-$620, while Vietnamese rice eased to $570 as buyers waited for the Philippines to finalize its tariff cut.
A higher paddy support price lifts Indian export floor prices, though buyers are holding back pending the Philippine tariff decision, limiting near-term export volume.
