In Thailand physical rice export prices were little changed Thursday in the absence of buyers who were mostly deterred by shortage of vessels.

Most buyers are also waiting for the new crop to arrive in the market starting next month before making new deals.

Thai 100% grade B was offered Thursday at $336-$337 PMT, FOB the 5% broken at $326-$327 PMT, FOB while parboiled 100% sortexed was offered at $330-$332 PMT, FOB. These prices were little changed from Wednesday's offers.
