Rice exports could bring in a record turnover of 5 billion USD this year if the pace of shipment is maintained like at present, according to Vu Tuan Anh, CEO of GLE company, a rice exporter.
There is ample room for Vietnamese rice exports as demand in major rice importers such as the Philippines, Indonesia, China and Africa is huge.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD), Indonesia imported 2.2 million tonnes of rice in the first five months of 2024 and plans to import an additional of 2.1 million tonnes from June – December.
Anh shared that Indonesia can import up to 4.3 million tonnes of rice in 2024 if the country’s crop output falls behind expectation due to drought, flood or pests, which would be an opportunity for Vietnamese rice exporters as Vietnamese rice’s quality is among the highest level in the world.
Besides, there are also good chances to export rice to the Philippines, which imported more than 1.7 million tonnes of rice from Vietnam in the first six months of this year, and the demand is projected to remain stable in the remaining months of the year, he added.
Data of the Vietnam Customs showed that since the beginning of the year to mid-July, Vietnam shipped more than 4.8 million tonnes of rice, bringing home nearly 3.1 billion USD. The average rice export price increased 12% compared to the same period last year, reaching 612.3 USD per tonnes.
Nguyen Ngoc Nam, Chairman of the Vietnam Food Association affirmed that demand for rice in the world is still enormous with traditional markets such as China, the Philippines, Indonesia being major importers of Vietnamese rice. The association has actively introduced Vietnamese rice to new markets like Africa and the Middle East.
The MARD said that Vietnam’s unhusked rice output is expected to reach more than 43 million tonnes in 2024, which is enough to ensure domestic consumption and export demand of more than 8 million tonnes of husked rice./.
