VIETNAM MAY EXPORT 8.8 MILLION TONS OF RICE IN 2025

Vietnam is expected to export 8.8 million tons of rice in 2025
In the first seven months of 2025, Viet Nam shipped 5.5 million tons of rice worth US$2.81 billion, up 3.1 percent in volume, down 15.9 percent in value.
The country has introduced a unique rice variety unavailable anywhere else, which has already secured large orders from Japan at premium rates.
Domestic enterprises continue to expand exports to Africa, a promising but high-risk market due to slow payments.
In 2024, rice exports reach a record high of over 9 million tons worth around US$5.7 billion, an increase of approximately 11–13 percent in volume and 23–24 percent in value compared to 2023.
