An estimated 524,000 tonnes of rice was exported in January, bringing home 249 million USD, reported the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Vietnamese rice exports have got off to a positive start right from the outset of the year, with promising signs from traditional rice importers like the Philippines and Indonesia.
The National Food Authority of the Philippines (NFA) has warned of a
“disinformation campaign” planned by several groups to create an
artificial rice shortage, affirming that the country still has enough
rice.
