An interesting observations was the price of imported rice in Nairobi was Ksh68($0.67)\/kg, which beats all logic that the imported rice must have incurred some transportation costs from Mombasa to Nairobi.\u00a0 So either the imported rice is coming to Nairobi through Northern Kenya at a much lower price, judging from the price in Juba, or there is imported rice dumping in the Nairobi market.\u00a0 Since we don\u2019t have any information on informal rice trade in the Northern Kenya border we can safely conclude there is a lot of imported rice dumping in Nairobi.<\/li>\n<li>The week was a very slow one for DRC, the country\u2019s reported exports were only Rice (6.96MT).<\/li>\n<li>There was a significant reduction of Rwanda exports (6.96MT) to DRC in comparison to 964.42MT the previous week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>The Week\u2019s Market Prices for Select Markets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Table-Market-Analysis-Week-Ending-14-April-2018web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5502\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Table-Market-Analysis-Week-Ending-14-April-2018web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Table-Market-Analysis-Week-Ending-14-April-2018web.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Table-Market-Analysis-Week-Ending-14-April-2018web-300x84.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Table-Market-Analysis-Week-Ending-14-April-2018web-768x215.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Table 1- Market Prices for Select Markets in the East Africa Region for the Week Ending 14<sup>th<\/sup> April 2018, US$1=Ksh101<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Week\u2019s Market Opportunities <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Betta Grains continues to receive various request to buy and sell commodities.
