Located in Southeast Asia, Vietnam is the third largest rice exporter in the world. More than 150 countries and territories across the globe depend upon Vietnamese rice for meeting their domestic consumption needs and the Asian nation commands a 15 per cent share in the global rice trade.

Talking of Indonesia, the country imported $67.3 million worth of rice from Vietnam to meet its domestic needs during the first two months of 2023, which is 30.532 per cent higher in comparison to same period a year ago. The nation’s plan to import 2 million tonnes of rice in 2023 to stabilize the price of the commodity in the domestic market, support 21.53 million poor households and utilize it for other purposes is also providing an excellent opportunity to Vietnam to boost its rice exports.
