Vietnam shifts towards high-quality rice export
Vietnam will restructure its export rice products towards increasing the proportion of high-quality, high-value, organic, highly-nutritious rice and products made from rice.

The direction is highlighted in a draft on the strategy for developing Vietnam’s rice export market in the period 2016-2020 with a vision to 2030, which has been released by the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT).
According to the draft, from 2016, the export rice production will focus on long-grain white rice and high-quality rice with 5 to 10% of broken grains and reduce rice with more than 15% of broken grains.
By 2020, the low-quality white rice export proportion in the total volume of export rice will be reduced to 15%.
