Indian exporters discussed possible restrictions on 100% broken white rice exports with the government on November 4, as domestic prices and demand from ethanol producers and the feed industry increased. Indian broken-rice export prices were reported at $336 per tonne FOB on November 5, while limited government rice supplies and an expected production decline are adding pressure to the market.
Restrictions would limit export availability, while ethanol and feed producers are competing with exporters for domestic supplies. Both forces could tighten the rice market and support prices.
