The rice market in many localities remains relatively quiet. In Kien Giang and Long An , transactions are slow due to many traders taking holidays, while the supply of summer-autumn rice is starting to come out gradually. In An Giang and Bac Lieu, the remaining rice supply is not much, farmers are offering high prices, but purchasing power remains slow.
Regarding the rice market, raw rice varieties such as OM 18, IR 504, and OM 380 are currently fluctuating between 7,700 and 10,400 VND/kg. Finished rice varieties OM 380 and IR 504 also maintain stable prices, at approximately 8,800-9,000 VND/kg and 9,500-9,700 VND/kg respectively. Trading activity in localities is quite slow, mainly due to many warehouses and traders taking a holiday break.
At retail markets, rice prices remained largely unchanged compared to the previous day. Nang Nhen rice continued to maintain the highest price at 28,000 VND/kg. White rice, regular rice, fragrant rice, and Japanese rice remained stable, fluctuating between 13,000 and 22,000 VND/kg depending on the variety.

On the export market, rice prices in leading producing countries unexpectedly recorded an upward trend. According to the Vietnam Food Association (VFA), the price of Vietnamese 5% broken rice was offered at 395 USD/ton, a slight increase of 1 USD/ton compared to the previous day.
At the same time, the prices of 25% broken rice and 100% broken rice also increased by 2 to 6 USD/ton, reaching 369 USD/ton and 323 USD/ton respectively. Trading activity in Vietnam became more vibrant as the long holiday period approached.
In Thailand, rice prices also recorded an increase of 2-4 USD/ton. Specifically, 5% broken rice was sold at 398 USD/ton, 25% broken rice at 373 USD/ton, and 100% broken rice at 339 USD/ton. In India, the price of 5% broken rice was adjusted up by 2 USD/ton to 378 USD/ton, while in Pakistan, the price increased by 1 USD/ton, reaching 390 USD/ton.
Besides the fluctuating rice prices, Japan is considering the possibility of expanding rice imports from the US under the existing "minimum access" system. This is considered a key issue in bilateral tariff negotiations between the two countries. Currently, Japan imports approximately 770,000 tons of duty-free rice annually, with over 340,000 tons coming from the US under this program in the last fiscal year.
The Japanese government is considering increasing imports of U.S. rice within current limits to minimize the impact on domestic farmers. Some have also suggested establishing a separate quota for U.S. rice, similar to agreements under the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Additionally, expanding imports of other agricultural products such as soybeans and corn is also being considered.
The Japanese government is expected to take the necessary preparatory steps for the next round of negotiations aimed at advancing agricultural trade with the United States.
