About Rough Rice

About the Rough Rice market
Rough rice is rice as harvested, before the husk is removed and the grain is milled. Its benchmark US contract is Rough Rice Futures on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), part of CME Group, under the product code ZR. One contract covers 2,000 hundredweight (cwt), about 91 metric tons, and is quoted in US dollars and cents per hundredweight. The contract is physically deliverable and calls for U.S. No. 2 or better long grain rough rice.
Rice is a staple food for much of the world, but most of it is eaten in the country where it is grown and only a small share is traded internationally. Prices can therefore react strongly to weather in growing regions, planted area, and export restrictions or import policies set by governments. Milling yields, the cost of inputs such as water, fuel and fertiliser, and the US dollar also affect the price of US rice.
