Rice futures traded near $11.8 per hundredweight, the highest since August 2025, as supply risks grew.

Lower planted area and likely drought-driven yield losses in Asia tighten rice supply expectations, supporting prices, though record Indian stocks limit the upside. Rice is a minor feed input, so the link to feed costs is indirect.
