Vietnam's 5% broken rice was offered at an average of $498 per metric ton, a peak since April 2021. Thailand's 5% broken prices were unchanged at $490-$495, and Indian parboiled rice rose to a three-month high of $390-$398 after a government procurement hike and tight supplies.
Tight old-crop supplies and El Niño threats to Asian output support firmer rice prices, which could raise feed-grade rice and related costs for buyers.
