Vietnam's 5% broken white rice offers rose about USD 30/t in a week to USD 470-480/t by the end of October, a near two-year high. The move is attributed to tight pre-harvest supply and El Niño concerns, bringing Vietnamese prices close to Thai levels and well above Indian offers.
A sharp rise in Vietnamese export offers tightens Asian supply and raises the cost of rice-based feed ingredients. The premium over Indian origins may shift importer buying toward India.
