# Rice Is Up 80% While Corn Fell - the Rally Is a Policy Squeeze, Not Broad Inflation

> Chicago rough rice futures have risen more than 80% in 2026, and Thai 5% broken rice reached $499 a ton, its highest since December 2024. Over the same period Chicago corn fell to a four-month low on ample US supply and Black Sea peace hopes, with soybeans and wheat also easing.

## Why it matters

Rice prices are rising on Indian export policy and ethanol demand, while corn, wheat and soybeans are weaker on supply and peace expectations. Feed buyers should watch rice as a separate, policy-driven squeeze.
