Key Takeaway
Thai White Rice (5% Broken) prices decreased from US$ 496.61/MT in October 2024 to US$ 466.45/MT in September 2026, a decline of 6.1%. The steepest fall came during January–February 2025 (−14.6%). The trend indicates a moderate downward movement in the quoted benchmark.
- Thai white rice prices are influenced by domestic paddy production, harvested acreage, rainfall distribution, irrigation availability, and seasonal harvest conditions. Exportable surpluses, government procurement and stock policies, export restrictions, and the competitiveness of Thai rice against supplies from India, Vietnam, and Pakistan also affect prices.
- Import demand from African and Asian markets, currency movements, freight costs, and changes in international food security policies can contribute to price volatility. The availability of rice meeting the specified 5% broken grade and the timing of export contracts are additional factors influencing the benchmark.
