Vietnam's domestic rice prices fell through September 2025 as supply was limited and demand stayed weak. Export prices rose in late August and early September, then declined after the Philippines imposed a 60-day import suspension, with 5% broken rice quoted at USD440-450 per tonne at month-end.
The Philippines import suspension removes a major buyer from the market and drags export quotes lower. Vietnamese exporters are holding stocks for an expected reopening, which limits how far prices can fall.
After 141 past bearish trade events, Rough Rice moved a median +0.6% over 5 sessions (57% higher; middle half -2.3% to +2.4%), and -0.6% over 20.
