It is expected that there is still room to expand the price difference between japonica and indica in the later stage.

According to the statistics of relevant institutions, the policy purchase volume of japonica rice this year is higher than that of last year, while the purchase volume of middle and late indica rice is less than that of last year. Even taking into account the factor of increasing production of middle and late rice, the market circulation of japonica rice is still expected to be smaller than that of middle and late indica rice. In addition, the middle and late indica rice sold at market auction in January will be released from the warehouse in the near future. It is expected that there is still room to expand the market price difference of japonica indica rice before policy rice enters the market.

The market price difference of japonica indica rice is the same as last week. On April 1, the purchase price of japonica rice grain depot in Hulin region of Heilongjiang Province in 2014 was 3100 yuan / ton, and the purchase price of late indica rice in Changsha region of Hunan Province was 2780 yuan / ton.
