There are no quotations this week due to Lunar New Year holidays. The current MY2012/13 main-crop Paddy Pledging Program, which began on October 1, 2012, and runs until February 28, 2013, has preliminarily received pledges of approximately 9.8 million metric tons (6.5 million metric tons milled equivalent), up around 60 percent from the same period last year. The government will likely begin the pledging program for the MY2012/13 off-season crop soon after the main-crop program is completed as new-crop supplies will be coming onto the market early next month. The details of the program will be finalized in the National Rice Policy Committee meeting next week.
