Paddy rice prices are remaining steady due to supply restrictions and concerns about cultivation in the new season. There is low liquidity in the market, with agents preferring to trade rice stored in industrial units due to logistical difficulties caused by weather conditions. The higher exchange rate has attracted sellers to fulfill contracts at the port of Rio Grande, where offers have been more attractive recently. Brazil's rice exports in September were significantly lower compared to previous months and years, while rice imports also decreased during the same period.
