Minimum purchase price execution plans for mid-late indica rice were launched in six southern provinces, lifting prices from a low base.

State price floors and state purchases absorb domestic surplus and support Chinese rice prices, while rising northeast japonica supply pressures farm-gate prices until purchases begin.
