Asian rice export prices rose this week to their highest in more than two years, with Vietnam's 5% broken rice offered at $495-$505 per tonne and Thai 5% broken reaching $505. Indian parboiled rose to $397-$405, a peak since February 2021.

Tight Asian supply and firm buying from importers such as Indonesia point to higher rice export prices, which feed directly into feed-grade rice and broken rice alternatives for animal feed buyers.
