# Thai rates hit 4-month low, Vietnam jumps as heavy rains persist - Markets - Business Recorder

> Thai 5% broken rice export prices fell to their lowest level since early March, quoted at $455-$485 per tonne, as weak domestic currency and flat demand weighed. Vietnamese 5% broken rates rose to a three-week high after persistent rain in the Mekong Delta hampered the summer-autumn harvest.

## Why it matters

Thai prices are falling on soft demand while Vietnamese supply concerns from harvest delays push prices up, leaving the regional rice market mixed. Feed buyers face limited direct impact because rice is a minor feed input, but harvest disruption in Vietnam could tighten supplies.
