HANOI (Reuters): Prices of parboiled rice exported from India held steady this week as strong demand from Africa offset pressure from new crop yields, while Vietnamese rates decreased due to strong supplies and Thai rates edged up on baht appreciation.
Top exporter India's 5% broken parboiled variety was quoted at US$444-$450 per metric ton this week, unchanged from the last week. Indian 5% broken white rice was quoted at $450-$458 per metric ton this week.
