Viet Nam is one of the world's top three rice exporters, shipping mostly from the Mekong Delta, where farmers grow up to three crops a year. The Philippines is by far its largest buyer.
The 5% broken grade is the usual benchmark and is often the cheapest of the major Asian origins after India. Vietnamese fragrant varieties now compete directly with Thai jasmine.
What moves these prices
- Philippine import policy and tariffs, since the Philippines buys a large share of Vietnamese exports.
- Mekong Delta harvests, with the big winter-spring crop arriving in February and March.
- Competition from Indian and Thai quotes for the same buyers.
How to read these numbers
FOB is the price loaded on a ship at the exporter's port, before freight and insurance. Most export prices are exporters' offers, not done deals. A tonne of paddy mills to roughly 0.6–0.7 t of rice.
