The Philippines has issued an SPS import permit for Vietnamese fragrant rice with 25% broken grains, reopening a channel that had been suspended during its domestic harvest. Vietnamese prices for this grade have risen above $500 per ton as import demand from several markets increases.
Reopened Philippine demand combined with limited Vietnamese supply through year-end supports higher export prices, and the rally is expected to extend into 2027 if El Niño weather hits production.
After 189 past bullish trade events, Rough Rice moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.7% to +2.4%), and +1.0% over 20.
