# Rice prices could improve later this season, analyst says

> An agricultural economist at Firstgrain says U.S. rice prices could rebound later in 2021 if U.S. rice acreage falls 20-30%, Brazil's drought persists, and China's feed use of rice grows. He noted that soybeans and gold have been the biggest market movers so far this year.
