Rice millers in Kangayam fear that the retail price of rice may touch ₹100 a kg by the end of January, 2027.

Non-availability of paddy and continuous increase in paddy prices are a matter of concern to the millers, said Palaniswamy, president of the Kangayam Rice Millers Association.

The retail price of rice is approximately ₹75 a kg now. It is likely to touch ₹100 a kg by the end of January. Paddy is not available for the mills and almost 50% of the rice mills in Kangayam in Tiruppur district are not operating now. The price of rice for a 26 kg bag has gone up by almost ₹500. However, the market is not ready to absorb this hike, he said.
