Prices of rice increased to new record highs in June 2024
Wholesale rice prices of the widely consumed Emata rice increased to record highs in June 2024, as the seasonal upward pressure was exacerbated by high prices of agricultural inputs and transport costs as well as conflict-related market disruptions. Strong export demand, mostly from China (mainland), contributed to keeping prices at high levels.
