BENGALURU/MUMBAI/BANGKOK/HANOI/BANGLADESH: Top rice exporters saw rates climb this week due to an uptick in demand, while a stronger baht lifted Thai prices to a near two-month high.
Thailand’s 5% broken rice prices rose slightly to $600 per ton from last week’s price range of $588 – $595, with traders attributing the increase to fluctuations in the exchange rate.
“Demand is not a problem this year and we just need enough supply,” a Bangkok-based rice trader said, adding that main markets for Thai rice include Indonesia and the Philippines.
