rice prices today, August 24, 2022: Rice prices continue to remain unchanged. rice prices today in the Mekong Delta provinces continue to move sideways. In the world market, export rice prices remain stable. Currently, the price of 5% broken rice is at 393 USD/ton; 25% broken rice is 378 USD/ton, 100% broken rice is 383 USD/ton. Thus, Vietnam’s 5% broken rice is currently 20-27 USD/ton lower than Thai rice but higher than Indian rice prices due to the quality of the harvest being affected by rain. However, rice prices are unlikely to fall further as global demand remains strong, while supply from the summer-autumn harvest in the Mekong Delta is decreasing, a trader said. In the first 7 months of 2022, world demand increased, but Vietnam’s rice export price decreased by 9.6% compared to the same period in 2021, reaching an average of 489 USD/ton. This decrease mainly came from export shipments to Asian and African markets, while in the EU and US markets, although the volume is not large, the price is still relatively good and tends to increase. According to businesses, Asian and African countries are attracted by price, while in the US and Europe, consumers are more interested in quality and are willing to pay more as long as the product is good. #rice price #agriculture #nhanong #mientay #rice #gaonguyenlieu #gaothanhpham
