# Bangkok Post - Asia rice - Vietnam, Thai rates dip as eyes turn to India

> Vietnam's 5% broken rice fell to $565-$570 per tonne, its lowest since July 2023, and Thai 5% broken slipped to $570-$575, the lowest since early April. Buyers are holding off in anticipation of India easing its rice export restrictions, and Vietnam's June shipments fell 40% from May.

## Why it matters

Weak demand while buyers wait for India's possible export easing points to softer Asian rice export prices, with Indian supply returning being a key bearish factor.
