In the absence of fresh buying in the market, prices of aromatic and non-basmati rice have remained unchanged since last weekend. Owing to sluggish domestic demand, the rice market is witnessing a steady trend, said, Mr Praveen Kumar, a rice miller.
On the other hand, in the international market, basmati rice prices in the last few weeks have firmed up by $50 per tonne and are expected to rise by another $50-100 a tonne, according to the reports.
