In the export market, Vietnamese rice continues to maintain stable prices in key segments, remaining competitive compared to other major exporting countries such as Thailand and India.
| Nation | 5% broken rice (USD/ton) | 100% Broken Rice (USD/ton) |
|---|---|---|
| Vietnam | 400 – 445 | 330 – 334 |

In addition, Vietnamese Jasmine rice is being offered at around $433-$437 per ton. Overall, despite low domestic liquidity, Vietnamese rice prices maintain their position in the global market. However, experts note that the global market still faces many risks from rising shipping costs and changes in import policies of major consuming countries.
