Indian export rice prices rose during the week, with 5% broken parboiled quoted at $385-390 per tonne and white 5% broken at $390-395. Thai 5% broken rose to $495-500 per tonne.
Demand remained weak, with buying mostly limited to regular customers and the Philippines, though Indonesian buyers showed growing interest.
Export prices are rising on a stronger rupee, which squeezes exporter margins, and on concerns about tighter supply and Middle East disruption. Traders expect the supply picture to clarify only when the new crop arrives around February 2027, so prices may stay firm in the meantime.
