Vietnam’s 5%-broken export rice held at $425–430 per tonne in early November, about $20 above comparable Thai rice, while domestic paddy prices rose as exporters increased purchases to fulfill existing contracts. Indian 5%-broken rice prices fell to $375–384 per tonne amid a weaker rupee, softer African demand, and increased new-crop supply.
Export-contract buying and tight domestic supply are supporting Vietnamese paddy and rice prices. Lower Indian prices and weaker demand from Africa may add competition in export markets, but the reported Vietnamese buying points to a bullish local price effect.
