Southern black glutinous rice (ลืมผัว variety) has run short for traders and kanom producers. Prices rose from about 37-38 to 60-70 baht/kg. Vietnamese imports land at roughly 42-44 baht/kg wholesale and 55 baht/kg retail, versus 27-28 baht for white glutinous rice. Imports face 30-32% duty within a quota of about 900 tonnes per trader, and 60% above it. Transport via Laos and Cambodia is costly and was disrupted by border closures. Still at proposal stage in Phatthalung; no decision yet. If you use black glutinous rice, check supply and pricing now and consider sourcing alternatives or forward contracts.
