# Turkey buys rice - Markets - Business Recorder

> Turkey's state grain board TMO bought about 18,000 tonnes of rice in an international tender that closed November 25, mostly round grain at $1,350-$1,385 per tonne including delivery. Traders said the rice was expected to come from supplies already in Turkey, so no imports were expected.

## Why it matters

The purchase is small and sourced mainly from domestic stocks, so it has little effect on global rice supply or prices.
