# Producer retention restricts available lots, but rice market remains stuck

> Brazilian rice prices remain stalled as producers with more capital hold back lots and industry refuses asking prices. Analyst Evandro Oliveira of Safras & Mercado says external support is building, with a dollar above R$5.60 and Chicago rough rice above US$18.60/cwt for January 2027.

## Why it matters

Reduced US long-grain supply, reported down more than 30%, could open room for Mercosur rice, but without confirmed contracts and shipments the domestic price has not yet moved. Rice is a minor feed input, so buyers should watch for firmer prices if restocking comes at the year-end.
