BANGKOK, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Thailand's benchmark 100 percent
B grade white rice <RI-THWHB-P1> rose 2 percent from last week on
fresh demand from Japan and the Middle East, exporters said on
Wednesday.
The median price quoted by Bangkok exporters rose for the
second straight week to $735 per tonne, up from last week's $720
per tonne. It was still well below a record high of $1,080 per
tonne marked in April.
"Importers in the Middle East kept buying and there was fresh
demand from Japan," one exporter said.
