Thai Rice Export Prices Fall to Nine-Year Low
Rice prices in Thailand have dropped to the lowest point in almost a decade because people aren't buying as much.
This is partly because there's a lot of rice available and demand is low.
The prices are high compared to other places like India and Vietnam.
In India, prices have held steady, but the government has a lot of rice stored up.
Vietnam's prices are also being affected.
Bangladesh is also facing problems due to the situation with India's rice exports.
Thai rice export prices fell to their lowest in nearly nine years.
The decline is due to weak demand and ample rice supplies.
Indian rice prices remained steady.
India's rice stocks have risen to a record high.
Vietnam's rice prices are facing some pressures.
