# Origin fraud may erode Vietnamese rice’s prestige: insiders

> Vietnamese businesses imported 304,000 tonnes of Indian rice through Ho Chi Minh City by mid-June, including 12,000 tonnes of husked rice for animal feed. Indian 5% broken rice is priced about $100 a tonne below Vietnamese rice, and ASEAN-India trade rules give it a zero tariff. Insiders warn that origin fraud could damage Vietnamese rice's reputation.

## Why it matters

Cheap, zero-tariff Indian rice imports compete directly with Vietnamese supply and feed-grade rice, pressuring export and domestic prices. Origin fraud could weaken Vietnam's premium positioning.
