Rice prices for the Summer-Autumn 2025 crop have increased compared to the beginning of the season.

Currently, rice prices are rising, but many farmers in the Dong Thap Muoi area of ​​Tay Ninh province are not benefiting because much of the 2025 summer-autumn rice crop has already been harvested.

Farmers harvest the 2025 Summer-Autumn rice crop.

According to data from the Department of Agriculture and Environment, in the 2025 summer-autumn crop season, the entire province sowed nearly 263,000 hectares of rice, reaching 98% of the plan. To date, nearly 65,000 hectares have been harvested, with an estimated rice yield of 5.88 tons/ha and an estimated production of nearly 380,000 tons.

Compared to the beginning of the season, rice prices have increased by 200-500 VND/kg depending on the variety. Specifically, the current price of fresh rice is 5,500-5,700 VND/kg for IR50404 variety; 6,800-7,100 VND/kg for IR4625 glutinous rice variety; 6,000-6,500 VND/kg for Dai Thom 8 variety; 6,200-6,500 VND/kg for OM18 variety; and 5,300-6,000 VND/kg for OM5451 variety.

Mr. Nguyen Van Ninh (Khanh Hung commune, Tay Ninh province) recently harvested 3 hectares of OM18 rice, yielding over 6 tons per hectare. Selling at 6,500 VND per kilogram, after deducting expenses, he earned a profit of approximately 14 million VND per hectare. Although rice prices have increased, many farmers are not benefiting because some rice fields were harvested earlier.

According to Nguyen Hoang Em, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Khanh Hung commune: "For the 2025 summer-autumn rice crop, the entire commune planted nearly 11,900 hectares. To date, farmers in the area have harvested nearly 11,000 hectares, with yields ranging from 5-6.5 tons/ha. The selling price fluctuates from 5,900-7,500 VND/kg (depending on the variety). After deducting costs, farmers earn a profit of 5-15 million VND/ha."

Rice prices for the 2025 summer-autumn crop increased, but many farmers did not benefit because they had already harvested earlier.

Currently, the province still has nearly 200,000 hectares of 2025 summer-autumn rice and nearly 30,000 hectares of 2025 autumn-winter rice that have not yet been harvested. In the fields, pests and diseases such as rice blast, grain discoloration, and leaf blight are emerging and causing damage.

The Department of Agriculture and Environment of the province is focusing on directing the prevention and control of pests and diseases in rice, strengthening propaganda and mobilization efforts to encourage farmers to regularly inspect their fields to promptly detect pests and diseases and take preventive measures.
