China’s early indica rice prices have weakened, with the market price near the 1.35 yuan-per-jin level supported by the minimum-purchase policy.

Reserve auctions could increase rice availability and weigh on prices, while the minimum purchase price may provide a floor and encourage farmers to hold grain rather than sell immediately.
