Vietnam's 5% broken rice export price has been at or near the world's highest since August 2022, reaching $468-472 per tonne from early 2023 to mid-March. Vietnamese officials attribute the premium to import demand tied to food security, India's continuing broken rice export ban and 20% tax on white rice, and China's reopened border.
With India restricting exports, buyers are shifting to Vietnamese supply at a premium, which supports Asian rice prices while Indian export restrictions persist.
