Vietnam, Thai rice prices hit near two-year highs as India slips

Grade Bbullish AI signal
Vietnamese and Thai rice export prices have climbed to near two-year highs as strong foreign demand, supply disruptions and weather concerns tighten regional availability, while Indian rice prices decline on improving harvest supplies. Vietnamese 5% broken rice reached $480-$490 per ton, its highest since December 2024, while Thai rice climbed to $490-$495 per ton; Indian parboiled rice eased to $382-$386 per ton. Continued flooding, El Niño concerns and strong export demand could sustain upward pressure on Southeast Asian rice prices, while improving Indian crop arrivals may widen regional price differences.
