# Weak Supply and Growing Imports

> Rice prices in Milan and Mortara were mostly steady, with isolated increases of €1 per quintal for Araldo in Mortara and a rise in the Milan quote for classic Vialone Nano. Weekly rice transfers fell to 26,778 tonnes as millers bought and collected promptly, while imports were up 11% since the start of the marketing season despite high foreign-product costs.

## Why it matters

Limited willingness to sell alongside weak miller demand is keeping domestic prices broadly stable, while higher imports add supply and may cap price gains. Lower transfers could signal tighter availability if the pace persists.
