Vinafood 2 to export rice to Bangladesh

The Vietnam Southern Food Corporation (Vinafood 2) has signed a contract to export 100,000 tonnes of 15 percent broken rice to Bangladesh at the price of 389 USD per tonne.

At present, Bangladesh is seen as a potential growing market for Vietnam with a recent import of 178,000 tonnes of rice. As a competitive supplier, in the near future Vietnam will negotiate with Bangladesh about the export of another 200,000 tonnes of rice to this South Asian country.

The Vietnam Food Association has asked the Ministry of Industry and Trade to consider Bangladesh as a central market and Vinafood 2 will act as an export source.
