Vietnam sold 800,000 tonnes of rice overseas for 505 million USD in October, bringing the country's total export volume and value in the first ten months to nearly 7.8 million tonnes and 4.86 billion USD, up 10.2% and 23.4% year-on-year, respectively.

The prices of Vietnam’s sticky rice are facing a downward trend due to its over-supply and dependence on a single large market.

Many farmers in the Mekong Delta are regretting that they did not stockpile any rice as prices rise continuously and supply remains limited.
