Export quotations rose in India, Vietnam, and Thailand, with Indian 5% broken parboiled rice quoted at $336–$343 per ton and Vietnamese 5% broken rice at $410–$415. Traders cited stronger demand and tight supplies in Vietnam, including a reported 1.5-million-ton export agreement with the Philippines; Thai exporters raised buying prices amid existing sales commitments and concerns about the next crop.
Bangladesh has begun buying rice from farmers after pre-monsoon rains damaged more than 200,000 tons.
Higher export demand and tighter available supplies are supporting Asian rice offers, while the reported Philippine agreement adds demand for Vietnamese rice. Weather-related losses in Bangladesh and concerns about upcoming crops add upside risk to regional prices.
