India, Thailand and Vietnam are the top 3 rice exporting countries in the world.
Regarding rice exports, at the 25th session of the National Assembly Standing Committee on the afternoon of August 15, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan said that when India and some countries banned rice exports, these countries increased their imports of this commodity from Vietnam.
Many markets such as China, the Philippines, and Indonesia are competing to buy Vietnamese rice with quantities increasing by 40% to several dozen times.

Regarding export markets, the Philippines remains the largest customer of Vietnamese rice as of the end of July 2023. Rice exports to this market reached nearly 1.94 million tons with a turnover of 984.9 million USD, down 2.1% in volume but up 6.5% in value over the same period in 2022.
