# Rice market sees a slowdown in trading and prices fluctuate in Rio Grande do Sul

> Paddy rice trading in Rio Grande do Sul slowed in October as rice mills reduced purchases amid weak sales of processed rice, high input costs, and sufficient inventories. Producers held back sales while awaiting better prices, while weaker export demand limited activity; a late-month stronger dollar raised export expectations but did not prompt a significant return of international buying. Planting for the 2026/27 crop was also progressing.

## Why it matters

Reduced mill buying and weak exports weigh on near-term demand and prices, while producers delaying sales may limit available supply and cushion the downside. The late-month currency move could support export prospects, but that had not yet translated into stronger demand.
