Research information on solutions for Vietnamese rice to maintain its second export position in the world .

Previously, the Government Electronic Information Portal reported information, press and public opinion related to the direction and management work, including content related to solutions for Vietnamese rice to maintain its second export position in the world.

According to a recent report by the Thai Rice Exporters Association, Vietnam has surpassed Thailand to become the world's second largest rice exporter in the first 6 months of this year. This achievement is increasingly reflecting the shift from "exporting a lot" to "exporting with value", creating a clear competitive advantage.

However, to maintain its position, the Vietnamese rice industry still needs to remove some bottlenecks and face significant risks: the impact of saline intrusion, drought and climate change, causing potential fluctuations in output; export management policies and technical barriers from demanding markets such as the EU and Japan remain major challenges. In the context of weakening global demand or competitors sharply lowering prices, Vietnam's price competitiveness will narrow.

This requires a long-term strategy, shifting the focus from increasing production to enhancing product value. In the long term, the sustainable direction must be to shift to exporting high-quality, organic rice, traceability and building a national brand. Otherwise, the current second position may be just a short-lived "wave peak" amid the cycle of oversupply and global climate fluctuations.

Regarding this issue, the Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to study the above information; preside over and coordinate with relevant agencies to have a specific plan to immediately handle it according to their authority; seize opportunities, and more "speedily" implement rice exports, especially high-quality rice and organic rice, associated with the traceability system and building a national rice brand to increase added value in rice exports. Accelerate the implementation of the Project on sustainable development of 1 million hectares of high-quality and low-emission rice cultivation associated with green growth in the Mekong Delta by 2030.
