India’s 5-percent broken parboiled variety prices fell to around 377-381 USD per tonne this week from 381-384 USD last week due to a depreciation in the rupee.

A strong bath contributed to Thai higher rice prices than other Asian hubs.

The dry conditions have also affected the quality of rice, which led to an increase in domestic rice prices, a Bangkok-based trader said.
