Vietnam will ship 60,000 tons at more than 490 USD per ton. Vietnam resumed rice exports in mid-April after a three-week suspension due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Vietnam’s rice exports in the first 5 months of 2020 totalled 2.9 million tons, worth 1.4 billion USD.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade says that with competitive prices and strong export turnover, Vietnam has a great opportunity to surpass Thailand in rice exports this year.
