# Vietnam rice prices fall due to Philippines import ban | Philstar.com

> Vietnam's rice export prices kept falling as the Philippines, its largest market, extended an import suspension that began September 1. FAO data shows Vietnamese 5% broken rice averaged $372.10 per ton in September, down 32% year on year, after India returned to the market following the lifting of its export restrictions.

## Why it matters

The Philippine import ban removes Vietnam's main buyer while India's renewed exports add supply, keeping Asian rice prices under pressure. Export-dependent markets should expect weak pricing to continue.
