HCM City (VNA) – The prices ofVietnamese export rice have soared to the highest level ever,according to the Vietnam Food Association (VFA).

Vietnam’s 5% broken rice is traded 653 USD per tonne, up 10 USD per tonne,while the 25% broken rice is sold at a record high of 638 USD  per tonne.

They are much higher than those of Thailand and Pakistan. Specifically, 5%broken rice is valued at 560 USD per tonne in Thailand and 563 USD in Pakistan,and 25% broken rice at 520 USD in Thailand and 488 USD in Pakistan.

The VFA said there is ample room for Vietnamese rice exports as demandcontinues to climb across the globe. The Philippines wants to import additional1.1 million tonnes of rice, while the demand from Indonesia is 2.3 milliontonnes. China’s rice import is expected to surge in the end of the year.

Vietnamese exporters said rice price will continue its upward trend even in thefall-winter and winter-spring harvest seasons as global demand has increasedover years while supply has tapered off due to climate change.

Boasting high-quality rice which has won the taste of foreign consumers, Vietnamcould sell its rice at 640-650 USD per tonne in the end of 2023, they added.

Domestic rice prices have been on the rise as a result of increasing exportdemand, with the 5% broken grain sold at 15,343 VND (0.62 USD) per kilogramme,up 3,000 VND, while 25% broken one traded at 14,725 VND per kilogramme, upnearly 3,000 VND from July.

However, many rice traders said this poses a challenge for them since they findit hard to get sufficient volume of the ordered rice. They have been hesitantto sign new rice export contract for fear of loss.
