# Dollar Appreciation Boosts Rio Grande do Sul Rough Rice Prices Amid Planting Progress

> A stronger dollar in late October renewed export interest in rough rice from Rio Grande do Sul, and some sellers delayed sales while awaiting stronger demand. Prices edged higher despite weak milled-rice sales; planting had reached 61.86% of the intended 2026/27 area by Oct. 29, with excess moisture slowing fieldwork in some locations.

- Commodities: [Rough Rice](https://feedsoft.ai/c/RICE.md), [Brazilian Real (BRL per USD)](https://feedsoft.ai/c/USDBRL.md)

## Why it matters

A weaker real against the dollar can improve the competitiveness of Brazilian rice exports and encourage sellers to hold out for export demand, lending support to local prices. Excess moisture may also slow planting, though progress was still advancing steadily.
