Sugar on sale
Retail prices for granulated sugar on the market have decreased by 1,000-4,000 VND/kg, reaching their lowest levels in months. At many markets and grocery stores in Can Tho City, the retail price of granulated yellow sugar, fine-grained white sugar, and loose-grained white sugar ranges from 22,000-24,000 VND/kg. Packaged yellow and white sugar with branded packaging sold in stores and supermarkets is priced at 32,000-35,000 VND/kg. The price drop is due to abundant supply and weak consumer demand.
Early harvesting of summer-autumn rice crops reduces profits due to increased costs.
The early-sown summer-autumn rice crop of 2026 in Can Tho City and some provinces in the Mekong Delta has begun to be harvested. Fragrant rice varieties such as OM 18, Jasmine 85, and Dai Thom 8 (fresh rice) are priced at 6,100-6,300 VND/kg; IR 50404 and OM 545 are priced at 5,800-6,000 VND/kg. According to many farmers, although the selling price of rice is similar to the 2025 summer-autumn crop, profits have decreased significantly due to the high prices of fertilizers and many other production inputs.
