Vietnam and Thailand Rice Prices Rise as India Maintains Export Policy Amid Supply Concerns
Rice export prices in Vietnam and Thailand have reached near two-year highs due to supply concerns and strong demand, particularly from the Philippines. Vietnam's rice exports rose 37.2% in October compared to last year. Meanwhile, India, the world's largest rice exporter, has eased prices amid new-season arrivals and maintains no fresh export restrictions on broken rice, supported by ample foodgrain stocks and steady paddy procurement despite El Niño concerns affecting crop output.
