Rice Price to Stabilize on Adequate Supply and Low-Cost Shipments from India
IndexBox has just published a new report: 'World - Rice - Market Analysis, Forecast, Size, Trends and Insights'. Here is a summary of the report's key findings.
This year, rice prices are forecast to ease, thanks primarily to rising production and exports from India, Thailand, Vietnam, China, and Pakistan. India dominates global trade, more than doubling its supplies at a competitive cost over the past two years.
Rice prices are predicted to drop this year with sufficient supply worldwide, a new report published by IndexBox states. According to USDA data, global milled rice production is forecast to remain stable, totalling 510M tons. World's total exports will reach 51M tons, which includes paddy, milled, semi-milled and broken rice, staying at the previous year level.
Sufficient exports from Thailand, Vietnam, China, Pakistan, and low-cost rice supplies from India are set to provide price stability this year. According to the World Bank forecast, the average price for white rice from Thailand (5% broken, FOB, Bangkok) will drop by 12% y/y to near $400 per ton in 2022. Last year, the prices for Thailand's rice fell by approx. 8% y/y, while Vietnamese white rice (5% broken, FOB, Hanoi) rose in price by 4% y/y to $446 per ton.
India dominates global trade, boosting total rice exports twofold to over 20M tons during the past two years. Due to increasing Minimum Price Support (MSP) for rice, India managed to sharply expand the harvested area and ramp up output and exports, offering the product at competitive prices on the global market. India has also invested massive funds in its deep-water ports to ship in bulk in addition to the typical containers.
