# Rice Price Reaches Its Highest Average Since February 2025, with the Dollar and Exports in Focus

> The average October price of paddy rice in Rio Grande do Sul was its highest nominal average since February 2025.

A stronger dollar may make Brazilian rice more competitive abroad and encourage exports, while sellers withholding supply can support domestic prices. However, weak milled-rice sales are limiting mills’ raw-material purchases and tempering that support.
