Bangladesh interim government has started importing rice from India. The first consignment of 27,000 tonnes of rice has arrived in Bangladesh through Chittagong port. The consignment is part of an agreement to buy 200,000 tonnes of rice from India, a food official of Bangladesh said on Friday. In a telephonic conversation, the official told ANI,

Vietnam's 5% broken rice was offered at $495-$508 a tonne, down from $509 a tonne last week, according to traders and the Vietnam Food Association.

Prices of parboiled rice exported from India fell this week as the rupee depreciated to a record low even as demand for the staple was steady, while Vietnam and Thailand saw muted activity. Top exporter India’s 5% broken parboiled variety was quoted at $444-$450 per metric ton this week, versus last week’s $445-$453. Indian 5% broken white rice was quoted at $450-$458 per ton this week. “Demand is steady. Traders are lowering prices to factor in the depreciation of the rupee to a record low,” said a New Delhi-based dealer with a global trade house. The Indian rupee hit a record low against the dollar this week, effectively increasing the margins of exporters. Meanwhile, illegal barter trade of gold for food items including grains surged at border checkpoints between India and Bangladesh, as India’s export curbs fuelled a vast disparity with prices in Bangladesh, causing combined government revenue losses of billions of dollars.
