Asia Rice - India rates slide to near two-year low on weak rupee, lower demand; Vietnam prices edging higher

HANOI (Reuters): Indian rice export prices dropped to a near two-year low this week, weighed down by weaker demand and depreciation in the rupee, while Thai rates rose to a more than two-month peak.

India's 5% broken parboiled variety was quoted at $384-$391 per metric ton, down from the last week's $390-$397. Indian 5% broken white rice was priced at $378 to $385 per ton this week.
