It is expected that the price of domestic japonica rice will remain high.

At present, domestic rice processing enterprises basically purchase rice from grain depots and trading markets, and mainly policy rice. Because the policy-oriented rice should abide by the principle of favorable price, the trading floor price is relatively stable. While the domestic rice market is in the off-season of market consumption, many processing enterprises reduce the market supply of rice by shutdown and maintenance in order to support rice prices to remain relatively stable. On the whole, the domestic supply and demand environment changed little in the short term, and the price of japonica rice remained stable.

Last week, in order to ensure farmers' income, four provinces of Hubei, Jiangxi, Hunan and Anhui successively launched the implementation plan of the lowest purchase price for early indica rice. At present, the purchase price of grain depots carrying out the task of collection and storage is basically maintained at about 1.35 yuan per jin, while the purchase price of rice processing enterprises is basically concentrated between 1.28 yuan and 1.35 yuan per jin. It is expected that the purchase price of early indica rice will remain at the current level in the short term.
