Fresh paddy prices for fragrant varieties Dai Thom 8 and OM 18 in Vietnam's Mekong Delta rose by 100 dong/kg to 6,600–6,800 dong/kg. Vietnamese export prices and prices for raw rice, by-products, and retail rice were mostly unchanged; Thailand, Pakistan, and India also reported steady export offers.
The small increase in fragrant paddy prices may offer limited support to local farmgate values, but unchanged export prices indicate no clear broader tightening in rice trade. The reported market movements imply only a minor price effect.
