Specifically, after the Philippines removed its import restriction policy, 166 Filipino companies have applied to buy 1 million tons of rice, in that there are many purchasing orders for Vietnamese rice. Under the new Philippines policy, all imported rice will be taxed at 35%, if originating from ASEAN, and with 50% with non-ASEAN countries.
The Agro Processing and Market Development Authority stated: Although the export of rice to the Philippines will be easier, Vietnam must compete fiercely with other countries in the region such as Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand.
Regarding rice export, they also provide more information: The demand of importing rice to China - a Vietnamese traditional market that may encounter great pressure due to China changing its border management policy and controlling its main imports. There is also the consideration of increased investment of rice production in regional countries such as Cambodia, Myanmar and Thailand.
