Vietnam exports 3.52 million tons of rice in H1, up over 16%

In the January-May period, the Philippines remained the biggest importer of made-in-Vietnam rice by occupying 43.6 percent of the total rice exports with 1.27 million tons, representing year-on-year increases of 34.8 percent in quantity and 17.7 percent in value. 

In the reviewed period, Vietnam’s rice export to the U.S. surged by 71.3 percent. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that American people prefer Vietnamese delicious rice like ST25. 

In addition to the U.S., the EU also imported high-quality rice from Vietnam. In the first half of 2022, 500 tons of “Vietnam Rice” had been shipped to Germany, the Netherlands, and France. 

The Vietnam Food Association forecasted that despite the fluctuating import market and strong competition, Vietnam's rice exports are estimated at 6-6.2 million tons, equivalent to that in 2020 and 2021 and earned $ 3.2 billion in revenue.
