After many years of losses, the Vietnam Railways Corporation has made effective innovations and made a profit in 2023. The Prime Minister also gave an example: in 2023, the Government directed to increase rice exports while prices increased, but there were also hesitant opinions in the context of the complicated world situation. However, according to the Prime Minister, the current rice crop life cycle is only about 3 months, rice reserves are guaranteed, and it is necessary to take advantage of the opportunity to export. As a result, we have both exported a record amount of rice, ensured a balance of domestic food, and contributed to ensuring world food security. The leaders of the Northern Food Corporation were excited when recently, Vietnam reached a government-level rice trade agreement with Indonesia and the Philippines - also the two largest rice importers of Vietnam. Immediately after that, in late January, Vietnamese enterprises won overwhelmingly when they won about 350,000 tons in Indonesia's 500,000-ton rice bid. The Corporation proposed that the Prime Minister continue to include the content of rice trade in the content of the exchange with senior leaders of countries in the coming time.
