Strategic Insight for International Rice Buyers & Rice Partners
The Vietnam rice market in March 2026 is navigating a complex global landscape. While domestic supply is peaking with the Winter-Spring harvest, international logistics and shifting policies in key markets like the Philippines are creating new dynamics.
1. Field Report: Harvest & Production in the Mekong Delta
As a direct Vietnam rice mill operator in Sa Dec, we observe the following on-ground activities:
Harvesting Status: The main harvest is actively progressing in Go Cong (Tien Giang) and Southern Dong Thap (Lap Vo, Lai Vung). Yields are stable at 7.5 - 8 tons/ha.
Supply Chain: Paddy supply is abundant. However, farmers are strategically drying and storing their stocks, anticipating price adjustments as export activities pick up.
Mill Activity: Our facilities in Sa Dec are running at high capacity to process the fresh crop, ensuring the highest quality for upcoming vessel loadings.
2. Philippines Market: The Leading Destination
The Philippines remains our strategic partner. Despite the new temporary import cap of 150,000 MT/month for March and April to protect their local farmers, the demand for Vietnamese rice remains unmatched.
Customs Data Highlights (to Feb 28, 2026):
February Volume: 379,492 MT.
Year-to-Date (YTD): 711,264 MT (Dominating over 55% of Vietnam's total exports).
Current Momentum: In the first 10 days of March, 26 vessels loaded with Vietnamese rice departed specifically for Philippine ports, proving the strong trust between our nations.
3. Export Price Table: Vessel-Loading (Bulk)
Prices are quoted on a FOB basis for bulk shipments (Min 5,000 MT).

4. Global Logistics & Middle East Impact
Shipping Costs: Tensions in the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz have impacted freight rates. For the Philippines route, we recommend booking vessels 2 weeks in advance to secure slots.
Oil Prices: Crude oil is hovering around $104.5/barrel, exerting upward pressure on transportation costs.
