# Vietnam imports Indian broken rice | VOV.VN

> Vietnam signed a contract to buy 70,000 tonnes of 100% broken rice from India for shipment in January and February at about $310 per tonne FOB. Vietnamese feed producers are buying the lower-grade rice because domestic supplies of broken rice for animal feed have become scarce.
