The Indian Rice Exporters Federation warned that authorities could restrict exports of broken rice if domestic prices rise again. Ethanol makers, poultry feed producers and exporters are competing for the same broken rice supplies.
Wholesale broken rice prices rose 5.3% in India between October 10 and November 2, and the government said on November 7 that no new restrictions were being considered.
Competing industrial demand for broken rice is tightening domestic supply, and any export curb would reduce feed-grade rice available to West African importers and support international prices.
