VOV.VN - Vietnam’s rice export prices have increased for the second consecutive week after a period of sharp decline, and experts predict that rice exports will improve in the second quarter of the year.

Vietnam’s rice export prices are showing signs of recovery after a prolonged period of decline, according to the Vietnam Food Association (VFA).

Vietnam’s agro-forestry-fisheries exports reached an estimated US$4.4 billion in February, marking a 37.2% increase compared to the same period last year, pushing the total value in the first two months of 2025 to US$9.38 billion, up 8.3% year on year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MoAE).

VOV.VN - After remaining high for an extended period, Vietnam's 5% broken rice export price dropped to US$399 per tonne in early 2025, falling below that of regional competitors such as Thailand, India, and Pakistan, according to the Vietnam Food Association (VFA).

The Vietnamese rice sector is likely to face a host of challenges in export in 2025 after a successful year in 2024, according to experts.

VOV.VN - Vietnam exported two million tonnes of rubber worth US$3.4 billion in 2024, the highest-ever figure recorded, representing a fall of 6.2% in volume but an increase of 18.2% in value against the same period from 2023.

Rice exports set new records in both volume and value in 2024 but the commodity is expected to face a difficult year ahead as India lifted its ban on non-basmati white rice exports in September, which will push up global rice supplies next year.
