Earlier, Vinafood 2 contracted to ship 300,000 tonnes of rice to Indonesia, said the Vietnam Food Association (VFA).
This is a positive sign for rice exports in the Mekong delta region in the 2011-2012 winter-spring rice.
Vietnam’s rice output in 2011 is estimated to exceed 41.5 million tonnes.
VFA pledged to consume all commodity rice and ensure that farmers will enjoy a profit of at least 30 per cent.
