August 2025

Created by: Emily Rice Spices - 18th August 2025

A sense of stability prevails in the Vietnam rice market this week. Trading activity is measured as the crucial Summer-Autumn harvest reaches the 70% completion mark, and the quality of the incoming crop is a significant highlight.

For our partners and colleagues in the global food supply chain, here are the key takeaways:

🌾 Excellent Crop Quality: The most promising news is the quality of the new harvest. We are seeing abundant inventory of beautifully milled rice with low humidity. These are ideal conditions for storage and ensure a premium product for export.

🍚 Long Grain White Rice: As is typical during this phase of the harvest, the spot supply for Long Grain White Rice is currently limited. We advise planning ahead for future requirements.

🌸 Fragrant Rice (Jasmine, ST25): Inventory for popular fragrant varieties remains stable and consistent. We continue to see a reliable supply to meet ongoing demand.

🍣 Japonica (Sushi Rice): The outlook is very positive. The new Japonica crop is approaching harvest time, with forecasts pointing to good yields and stable pricing.

The current market calm, combined with the high quality of the new rice, presents a key window of opportunity. It's an ideal time for buyers to connect and strategize procurement for the upcoming season to secure top-grade Vietnamese rice.
