Burma: Rice Trade - Monthly
Link to report:
In January 2021, Burma’s rice exports are forecast to decrease overall due to high domestic prices and since the Chinese government has not yet issued 2021 import permits for head rice. However, broken rice exports to China increased due to high demand before the Chinese New Year. Domestic prices for Emata 25 percent broken rice increased due to potential exports to Bangladesh and Malaysia while the prices for superior quality Shwe Bo Pawsan rice remain unchanged. Burma’s rice exports in February are forecast to be weak due to the country-wide Civil Disobedience Movement following the February 1, 2021 coup, in which the military overthrew the democratically elected civilian government.
