The journey of Vietnamese rice—from the goal of simply “having enough to eat” to asserting its position as an export commodity—reflects the resilience of farmers, the dedication of scientists, and a sustainable development orientation that is opening up a new future for Viet Nam’s rice sector.

Viet Nam’s average rice export price in the first nine months of 2025 is estimated at 509 USD/tonne, down 18.6% compared to the same period in 2024.
