Conab holds a series of auctions to buy 73,000 tonnes of paddy rice in Rio Grande do Sul

Brazil’s Conab plans four electronic auctions on November 13 to buy 73,093 tonnes of bulk paddy rice for federal public stocks. The purchases will cover 2025/26 long-grain, fine, Type 1 rice for delivery to accredited warehouses in Rio Grande do Sul; the announcement comes as local rice prices have eased amid higher regional supply, weaker export demand and cautious domestic mill buying.

WHY IT MATTERS

Government procurement adds demand and could support Brazilian paddy rice prices, partly offsetting the supply and demand factors currently weighing on the market.
