Mexico wants to find a mechanism to import Vietnamese rice.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade said that Mexico highly appreciates Vietnam's rice exports and hopes to soon find a suitable mechanism to import Vietnamese rice into its market.

In addition, Mexico is also looking to invest in production in Vietnam to meet domestic rice consumption needs and export to other markets in the region.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade also said that currently, Mexico has to import 90% of the rice consumed domestically, of which 75% of the volume is imported in the form of paddy and mainly from the US.

Due to the tradition of mainly growing and consuming corn, the production and consumption of rice in Mexico is still very modest. The average consumption per capita in Mexico is only 6 kg/year, too low compared to 8 kg/person/month in Vietnam.
