Vietnam's rice exports to Africa have shown a positive growth trend, with a rebound in 2023 after a decline in 2022 due to global economic instability and the Covid-19 pandemic. The demand for Vietnamese fragrant rice is rising in Africa, driven by urbanization and increasing incomes, with key importers being Ivory Coast, Ghana, Senegal, and Cameroon. To enhance its position in the global rice value chain, Vietnam is focusing on promoting fragrant rice, improving export policies, and leveraging bilateral cooperation mechanisms with African countries. The strategy includes exploring new MOUs with countries like Uganda and supporting enterprises in implementing existing agreements with nations such as Egypt and Madagascar, while ensuring transparent information dissemination by state agencies to facilitate market-driven operations.
