Domestic rice prices: Export materials increase slightly

Rice prices in the Mekong Delta region today remain stable. However, some types of raw rice for export have recorded price increases.

In many localities, rice supply is still low and rice prices remain stable. In An Giang , traders are buying slowly and paying low prices, causing new transactions to be weak. In Dong Thap, new transactions are maintained regularly and prices fluctuate little. A similar situation is also occurring in Ca Mau, Can Tho, Vinh Long and Tay Ninh when rice harvests are still low, demand is slow and prices fluctuate little.

At retail markets, all types of rice are priced the same. Nang Nhen rice has the highest listed price of 28,000 VND/kg. Regular rice fluctuates between 11,000 - 12,000 VND/kg. Long grain Thai fragrant rice is priced at 20,000 - 22,000 VND/kg.

Export market keeps prices stable

In the export market, Vietnamese rice prices remained unchanged compared to the end of last week. According to the Vietnam Food Association (VFA), 5% broken fragrant rice is being quoted at 420 - 440 USD/ton. Jasmine rice ranges from 447 - 451 USD/ton. 5% broken white rice is at 359 - 363 USD/ton.

Thailand’s 5% broken white rice prices are currently hovering around $345-$349 per ton. India’s prices are lower, at $344-$348 per ton for 5% broken white rice. Pakistan’s 5% broken white rice prices are currently the lowest, at $338-$342 per ton.

The Philippines is no longer expected to achieve a record rice production this year after the Department of Agriculture (DA) downgraded its crop outlook due to recent weather fluctuations. The DA forecasts full-year rice production to be between 19.61 million and 19.89 million tons, lower than its previous estimate. The new forecast is still higher than last year’s 19.09 million tons, but lower than the record 20.06 million tons set in 2023.

The revised forecast is due to lower expected fourth-quarter production after a series of typhoons hit many rice-growing areas, Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel said. While domestic production remains robust enough to “significantly reduce import demand” in the first quarter of 2026, the Department of Agriculture will soon release an import adjustment table after the suspension of rice imports is lifted early next month.

The Philippine President had previously ordered a temporary suspension of rice imports in September to improve domestic purchasing prices. The ban has been extended until the end of the year. Tiu Laurel dismissed recent speculation that the Philippines would resume bulk rice purchases early next year, pledging that the government would not allow foreign suppliers to take advantage of the country’s food security mechanism.
