Soc Trang has a sporadic demand for rice, rice prices are still stable. In An Giang, rice purchasing is still normal. In Dong Thap, traders are mainly interested in fragrant rice. In Kien Giang, because the peak of the crop has passed, the amount of rice left is small, traders are having difficulty purchasing.

Rice prices today have some slight adjustments. IR 50404 rice increased by 100 VND/kg, ranging from 5,500 - 5,700 VND/kg. OM 5451 rice remained at 5,800 - 6,000 VND/kg. Dai Thom 8 and OM 18 rice remained at 6,500 - 6,600 VND/kg. Nang Hoa 9 rice was at 6,300 - 6,500 VND/kg.

According to data from the Philippine Department of Agriculture, the country's rice imports by mid-March were only about 640,000 tons, down nearly 46% compared to the same period in 2024. The main reason was due to expectations of a better domestic crop and the impact of the policy of capping imported rice prices.

This situation may open up more opportunities for Vietnamese rice in the coming time, as many foreign businesses are looking for more stable supply sources and competitive prices in the international market.
