2. Factors affecting the market of white rice 

The white rice market is affected by the following factors

• Production

The supply chain of white rice depends heavily on the total rice production. In 2020, the quantity of Vietnamese rice production stood at 10.74 million tonnes, decreasing by 205 thousand tonnes. Thus, there was a 3.5% decrease in the volume of Vietnamese white rice export.

• Transportation

Normally, white rice is delivered by sea freight, hence costs will directly affect the rice price. The CIF price of Thai white rice has increased from 498 USD/tonne to 510 USD/tonne. The reason behind is rising freight costs.

• Supporting policies

There is a link between the market of white rice and the supporting policies. To ensure food security to cope with the Covid 19, the Vietnamese authorities issued a temporary ban on rice exports until May 2020. This policy had a great impact on the export volume of white rice for 3 months.
