At the current price, Vietnam's rice export is at the lowest level among the world's leading exporting countries such as Thailand, India, etc. It is worth mentioning that since the beginning of the year, Vietnam's rice export price has continuously decreased and has fallen to the lowest level in the world so far.

Agricultural experts believe that the world rice market has just gone through a period of slow trading compared to the annual cycle. The reversal of domestic rice prices and export rice prices from the end of 2024 is considered to be due to oversupply in the market.

Supply pressure continues to weigh on the global rice market, while demand has yet to show signs of a strong recovery. It is forecasted that in the short term, world rice prices will remain under pressure, at least until importing countries return with greater demand.

On the other hand, while major importing countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines are temporarily suspending, reducing, or delaying purchases to monitor price developments, rice output from major producing and exporting countries, especially India, is increasing sharply.

Faced with the sharp decline in rice prices, the Ministry of Industry and Trade recommends that businesses continue to closely monitor developments in the world rice market. In particular, it is necessary to closely monitor market movements, especially with major rice exporting countries such as India, Thailand, etc., so that we can make appropriate adjustments.

To improve capacity and export value, the domestic rice production industry needs to organize production well, ensure rice quality; as well as product brand, maintain orders and maintain export markets.

In addition, domestic enterprises need to proactively diversify markets, increase rice exports to new markets such as Europe, the US, Japan, the Middle East, West Asia, Africa, etc. At the same time, take advantage of free trade agreements to enjoy tariff incentives and conquer and increase rice exports to new markets.
