Vietnam's rice exports reached about 6.8 million tonnes in the first ten months of 2026, down 4.6% in volume and 9.7% in value year on year. Philippine import demand is recovering, with a sanitary licence allowing imports of 300,000 tonnes in November, and fragrant rice prices have risen to above $500/t.
Renewed Philippine buying and firmer Vietnamese export prices support the Asian rice benchmark, which feeds into rice bran and broken rice pricing for feed buyers.
