India is considering lifting some rice export restrictions because domestic prices are stable and government stockpiles are adequate, according to a source. The curbs cover about 60% of Indian rice exports, including a 20% duty and a ban on broken rice sales.
The Rice Exporters Association plans to request approval to ship at least 1 million tonnes of broken rice.
Relaxing India's curbs would add supply to the world market, which should cool Asian benchmark rice prices that are near their highest since mid-2021.
After 100 past bearish policy events, RICE moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.6%), and +0.1% over 20.
