The price of rice in Vietnam has increased, with ordinary rice in the field and at the warehouse seeing a significant rise, as well as broken rice and grade 1 white milled rice. Despite the high prices, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development predicts that the country's rice output will meet both domestic demand and export needs. The rice export prices in Asia have also gone up due to the ban on rice exports by India, leading to concerns about the global supply of this essential food item.
