# Mid-late indica rice prices keep stabilizing as northeast japonica minimum purchase program nears

> Minimum purchase price execution plans for mid-late indica rice were launched in six southern provinces, lifting prices from a low base. Northeast China japonica supply is rising, with Heilongjiang round-grain prices approaching the 2,620 yuan/ton minimum purchase price, so a state support purchase there is expected soon.
