July 15 (Reuters) - Indian rice export prices hit a nearly
16-month low this week as new supplies come into market but
demand remains low, while coronavirus restrictions in Vietnam
undercut sales of the staple grain.
Top exporter India's 5% broken parboiled variety
was quoted in the $364-$368 per tonne range this
week, extending its slide from last week's $367-$371.
