Energy sector
Today, May 29th, the online newspaper vnexpress.net published the following information: How does E10 gasoline help reduce emissions?
From June 1st, E10 bioethanol fuel will be widely available nationwide, expected to help reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 2.5 million tons per year, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade . E10 is a type of bioethanol fuel blended with 10% fuel ethanol (bioethanol) and 90% traditional mineral gasoline. Ethanol is mainly produced from raw materials such as cassava, sugarcane, and corn, so it is considered a renewable fuel.
According to experts, the application of biofuels is a solution to help Vietnam reduce its dependence on imported petroleum products and diversify its energy sources amidst the energy crisis caused by the Middle East conflict. This transition also supports the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aiming for net zero emissions by 2050.

Mr. Vu Ba Phu, Director of the Trade Promotion Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade), emphasized that this visit by General Secretary and President To Lam will contribute to promoting closer ties between trade promotion, investment promotion, and innovation promotion, especially in areas where Singapore has strengths such as finance, logistics, digital transformation, e-commerce, green economy, clean energy, smart cities, AI, semiconductors, and data centers.
Singapore is currently Vietnam's fourth largest trading partner in ASEAN.
The Tuoi Tre newspaper published an article titled: Vietnamese rice conquers demanding markets.
Producing high-quality rice for export to demanding markets with stringent requirements is the direction that organic rice producers are aiming for. One of the biggest bottlenecks in exporting high-quality rice relates to export licenses, requiring large-scale production, warehousing, and factory facilities. In particular, exporting requires businesses to go through a consignment process, leading to many other complications.
Therefore, if businesses focus on producing high-quality rice that fully meets the needs of the import market instead of chasing quantity, they will be limited in their export opportunities. "In reality, the largest production volume does not necessarily mean the greatest value or revenue."

At the meeting of the Council for the Appraisal of the Draft Law on Commodity Derivatives Trading, Tran Huu Linh, Director of the Department of Domestic Market Management and Development (Ministry of Industry and Trade), stated that the current legal system only provides a framework for the trading of commodities through commodity exchanges, while many issues arising in practice have not been fully and comprehensively addressed. Current regulations are scattered across various specialized laws such as the Commercial Law, the Law on Credit Institutions, the Law on Foreign Trade Management, the Law on Electricity, etc., but there is no unified mechanism for all commodity derivatives trading activities.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade proposes comprehensive management of the commodity derivatives market, including both transactions through commodity exchanges and decentralized trading, while clarifying the legal application mechanism for settlement activities involving cash or actual physical delivery of goods.
