Platts suspends publication of three Indian white rice assessments

Due to the Indian government's indefinite ban on non-Basmati white rice exports, Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will not publish the following assessments from July 21 until further notice:

Assessment Name Code

Indian 5% broken white rice LRCAB00

Indian 25% broken white rice LRCBE00

Indian Swarna 5% broken white rice LRCDB00

As a result, the related volatility calculations and monthly averages published under these symbols (RVCAB00, RVCBE00, RVCDB00, LRCBE03, LRCAB03, LRCDB03) will be affected.

Platts will continue to review the situation as it develops and publish any bids, offers, trades or indicative market values for these assessments as Heards.
