# Vietnam rice prices hit 2-month high on Philippines demand

> Vietnam's 5% broken fragrant long-grain rice was quoted at $499/mt FOB on Oct. 30, up $28 from the previous week and the highest level since Aug. 17. Traders attributed the increase to Filipino importers seeking cargoes ahead of a possible restoration of sanitary and phytosanitary import permits; DT8 and 25% broken fragrant rice offers were also reported higher.

## Why it matters

Anticipated Philippine buying is strengthening demand for Vietnamese export rice, giving sellers greater pricing leverage while import permits remain uncertain. Continued purchases could support Vietnamese rice prices and tighten availability for other buyers.
