Global economic uncertainties such as the post-covid effects, climatic uncertainties, and the turmoil between Russia and Ukraine have pushed up the global demand for rice. Opinion Of Experts Experts at the forum have shared the same viewpoint that the prices of Vietnamese rice would continue to stay high as the economic, political, and climatic uncertainties have kept the demand for the commodity high in the global markets.

The experts stated that China is one of the most important markets for Vietnamese rice and apart from China, the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom have also remained important markets in Vietnam. They also suggested that exporters should tighten their connectivity with purchasing and processing units to be able to satisfy the technical requirements of importers and thus better utilize free trade agreements (FTAs) and export quotas.

Le Thanh Hoa, the deputy head of the Agro Processing and Market Development Authority (Agro Trade), asked businesses to pay due attention to China, saying although it is a big and promising market for Vietnamese farm produce, the country has made changes in import requirements, from plant quarantine to packaging, tracking of origin and growing area codes.
