# 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.
