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 US$389 per tonne.

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

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 a major supplier.
