Global directory of rice wholesalers from around the world. The rice market is poised to register a CAGR of 1.2% during the forecast period, 2021-2026. The commercialization of rice has not been much significantly affected by the impact of COVID-19, as compared to other industries, as its demand has been ever so increasing. In Southeast Asia, rice farming was affected due to a lack of access to credit, capital inputs, and remittance income. Additionally, restrictions on exports resulted in a short supply of the product, which in turn, caused the rise in price. For instance, with the coronavirus outbreak, Thailand’s rice export prices marked a rise almost by 20% after the outbreak, which was nominally low in early 2020.
