India Rice Bran (Raw) Price Trend (₹/MT)

Key Takeaway

• Factors affecting RB Raw (16/5/8) – Punjab prices: Prices are mainly influenced by paddy milling activity, rice production, paddy arrivals, availability of raw rice bran, and seasonal milling patterns in Punjab. Since raw rice bran is a by-product of rice milling, higher milling volumes generally increase supply and can put downward pressure on prices, while reduced availability supports prices. Rice bran oil prices, crude rice bran oil demand, extraction margins and demand from solvent extraction plants are key drivers, as processors value raw bran largely based on its oil content.
• Demand for the bran fraction in livestock and poultry feed also affects prices. Competing feed ingredients and oilseed meals, including soybean meal, mustard meal and other rice-milling by-products, influence its relative feed value. Additionally, bran quality, oil content, moisture, FFA levels, storage losses, transportation costs, mill capacity utilization, inventory levels, regional demand and government policies affecting rice and edible oils contribute to price movements.
