Burma: Rice Trade - Monthly

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   BM2021-0031

Post forecasts Burma’s rice export lower in October due to the continued closure of all border checkpoints along the Burma-China border, poor demand from African and EU countries, and high shipping costs. Domestic prices for both Emata and Shwe Bo Pawsan in Rangoon market will likely increase in October due to lower supplies in the domestic markets and transportation challenges due to high fuel costs.
