# Mysteel Daily: Northeast japonica rice support purchases take over as national rice procurement pace speeds up year on year

> Support purchases for northeast China japonica rice have started to set a price floor, while farmer grain sales are slow and rice mills are buying cautiously. Indica rice procurement is running faster than last year, and quality varieties are firm while common varieties face limited upside.

## Why it matters

Government price support sets a floor for Chinese rice, but weak mill demand limits upside, so domestic rice prices are likely to stay range-bound with little impact on global feed grain prices.
