# Dong Thap: Rice prices rise sharply, businesses cautious in purchasing.

> Rice prices in Dong Thap province rose sharply after a long stagnation, with traders buying Dai Thom 8 and OM 18 paddy at VND 7,800-8,000/kg, about VND 1,700/kg higher than three months earlier. Milled rice gained VND 1,500-2,000/kg, but few farmers had paddy to sell because most fields are not yet ready for harvest.
