Rio Grande do Sul had planted 75.7% of its estimated rice area, up 13.84 percentage points in a week, but reports of poor emergence, replanting, excess moisture and low sunlight have raised questions about crop establishment. A consultant said the uncertainty and added costs may encourage growers to hold remaining stocks; stronger currency and Chicago prices have not yet translated into broad physical-market gains because mill demand and margins remain weak.
