# Thai rice price surges compared to other Asian countries

> Thailand's benchmark 5% broken rice rose to $406-435 per tonne in the week to August 10, up from $395-405 the previous week. Vietnamese rates were flat at $340-350, and Indian parboiled prices fell on the weaker rupee. Dry conditions in Thailand reduced grain quality and lifted domestic prices.
