# The price of exported rice is higher than in Thailand, and the cost of rice in the Mekong Delta has skyrocketed by 1,000 VND/kg.

> Vietnam's 5% broken rice export price held at $425–430/ton in early November, about $20/ton above Thailand. Domestic prices rose as exporters bought more from farmers to fill contracts, while India's 5% broken price fell to $375–384/ton.

## Why it matters

Tight domestic supply and contract-driven buying support Vietnamese rice prices and a firmer export premium over Thailand. Weaker Indian quotes partly offset this in the global market.
