After New Early Rice Hits the Market, Purchasing Turns Cautious: Industry Views and Analysis
New Early Rice Hits the Market, Purchasing Shows Caution. At present, the new-season early indica rice in the south has fully hit the market, and the purchase price of 2015-produced national standard third-grade early indica rice is currently below the 2015 domestic minimum protective price for early indica rice. Purchasing entities are mainly grain depots, while small and medium-sized processing enterprises, due to the rather serious "strong rice, weak milled rice" phenomenon, are relatively cautious about entering the market to purchase, generally focusing on purchasing high-quality early indica rice, mainly to meet their own processing volume before the new-season middle indica rice hits the market.
