Vietnam is expected to export over 7.5 million tonnes of rice in 2025, mainly from the Mekong Delta, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD).
MARD’s supply and demand report sent to the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) projects the Mekong Delta will cultivate 3.78 million hectares of rice, yielding more than 23.96 million tonnes. Of this, 15.08 million tonnes of commercial rice, equivalent to 7.54 million tonnes of husked rice, will be available for export.
The planned rice volume includes 5.65 million tonnes (75%) of high-quality and fragrant rice, 754,000 tonnes (10%) of glutinous rice, and 1.13 million tonnes (15%) of medium-quality rice. An estimated 4.53 million tonnes will be shipped in the first half of the year, with over 3 million tonnes in the latter half.
MARD has urged the MoIT to boost trade promotion, ensuring stable exports while balancing benefits for farmers and businesses. It also proposed a structured management system for rice traders, requiring them to register and sign contracts with farmers based on agreements with exporters.
Vietnam’s total rice cultivation area in 2025 is estimated at 7 million hectares, down 132,000 hectares from 2024, with total output projected at 43.14 million tonnes, a decrease of 323,000 tonnes year-on-year.
