Five businesses have won the right to import a total of 100,000 tonnes of sugar worth VND250 billion (US$10 million), following an auction held by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) for the 2025 sugar import tariff quotas on October 20.

VOV.VN - Vietnam’s sugar production was estimated to be roughly 750,000 tonnes during the 2021 - 2022 crop, an increase of 8.3% compared to the previous crop, although this rise has yet to sufficiently meet domestic market demand.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) will auction an additional import tariff quota for 200,000 tons of sugar for the crop year 2021-2022.

Seven enterprises were assigned tariff quotas with a total volume of 109,000 tonnes at a recent sugar import auction organised by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT).
