The Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association estimates that in September alone, durian export revenue reached 800-900 million USD, a record high.

Coffee growing regions in the Central Highlands are preparing for the new harvest season, and the temporarily limited supply is contributing to the slight price increase.

On the world market, arabica prices continued their strong surge on the New York exchange, while robusta prices on the London exchange fell slightly due to profit-taking by investors.

According to observations this morning, coffee prices in the Central Highlands region have uniformly increased by 600-700 VND/kg compared to the previous session.

In An Giang, transactions are infrequent, and the supply of new rice is limited, keeping prices stable. In Can Tho and Ca Mau, traders are mainly waiting for the harvest season, and new transactions are almost non-existent.

According to the Department of Agriculture and Environment of An Giang province, rice prices today remain the same as yesterday. Specifically, OM 18 and Dai Thom 8 (fresh) rice ranges from 5,800 to 6,000 VND/kg; OM 308 rice from 5,700 to 5,900 VND/kg; Nang Hoa 9 reached the highest level of 6,000 to 6,200 VND/kg; IR 50404 remained at 5,000 to 5,200 VND/kg; and OM 5451 remained stable around 5,400 to 5,600 VND/kg.

However, rice exports in September 2025 reached only 466,800 tons, equivalent to $232 million, a decrease of 43% in volume and 55% in value compared to the same period in 2024. The main reason is that the Philippines temporarily suspended imports, causing a sharp decline in export volume.

Against this backdrop, Ghana has emerged as Vietnam's largest rice import market, accounting for nearly 22% of total rice exports. Following closely behind are Ivory Coast with 21% and Malaysia with 10%. Overall, in the first nine months of 2025, Vietnam exported approximately 6.8 million tons of rice, generating $3.5 billion in revenue, a decrease of 2% in volume and nearly 20% in value compared to the same period last year.

On the world market, the price of 5% broken white rice from India remains stable at 364-368 USD/ton; Thailand maintains its price at 336-340 USD/ton; while Pakistan fluctuates between 348-352 USD/ton.

In contrast to the stagnation of these countries, Cambodia recorded impressive export results with 596,341 tons of milled rice in the first nine months of the year, generating revenue of $408 million, a 33.7% increase compared to the same period last year. This growth is thanks to the country's efforts in promoting its rice brand and expanding export markets to Europe and China.
