Regarding domestic rice prices, the market in many localities in the Mekong Delta region is starting to improve. In Bac Lieu , rice is being reserved in large quantities, the price of fragrant rice remains stable, and ST rice continues to increase in price. In An Giang, farmers are offering to sell at higher prices, however, the remaining rice supply is not large, causing transactions to proceed quite slowly.

In Can Tho, despite a relatively good supply, demand is weak, causing trading to slow down. Long An recorded a slight increase in rice prices, but purchasing power remains low.

According to the Department of Agriculture and Environment of An Giang province, rice prices in the Mekong Delta region remained mostly stable today. OM 5451 rice is currently fluctuating between 6,200 and 6,400 VND/kg, while Dai Thom 8 rice is priced from 6,800 to 7,000 VND/kg. OM 18 rice (fresh) is trading in the range of 6,700 - 6,900 VND/kg.

In the Philippines, rice supplies are showing signs of decline.

Rice reserves in households currently stand at approximately 784,500 tons, up nearly 13% from the previous year. Meanwhile, reserves at the National Food Authority (NFA) have surged, from just over 41,000 tons last year to nearly 300,000 tons.
