# Rice prices rose above the break-even threshold — Paragro

> Russia’s National Rice Union said paddy procurement prices have moved about 2 rubles per kilogram above the break-even level, rising by 1–1.5 rubles per kilogram each ten-day period. The 2026 harvest is forecast at about 800,000 tonnes, down 400,000 tonnes from last year, following a 24% reduction in planted area; the union expects domestic demand to be covered, with some surplus available for EAEU markets.

## Why it matters

A smaller crop and reduced planted area tighten Russian rice supply and support domestic prices, although the forecast surplus limits concern about domestic availability.
