The result of rice export in this year has an important meaning as rice is one of the main export of Vietnam, taking Vietnam to the second and then the third largest exporter of rice in the world. In 2017, rice export is forecasted to face numerous challenges as many countries shifted policies of food self-sufficiency. However, due to the impact of climate change, rice supply in some countries have been reduced, leading to higher demand for rice import from China, Philippines, Malaysia, Korea. As such, rice export of Vietnam has experienced rapid growth rate. Especially, the expansion of rice export to new markets such as Bangladesh, Iraq also contributes to rice export exceeding expectation for this year.
In supporting rice export, the Ministry of Industry & Trade has actively implemented strategy to develop rice export market in the direction of reducing quantity and increasing quality. Besides, provinces also implement rice production standards such as good agricultural practice (GAP), strictly monitoring the production chain to ensure food safety regulation and meeting the requirements for import markets, with an aim for Vietnam’s rice to have a stronger status in the market.
It is expected that in the last month of 2017, Vietnam’s rice export will be around 400,000 – 450,000 tons, taking the total rice export of Vietnam in 2017 to 5.9 – 6 million tons, up 1.1 – 1.2 million tons compared to the same period of 2016.
