China imports less rice from Vietnam

Imports of glutinous rice from Vietnam to China keep falling.

Vietnam is the biggest glutinous rice exporter to China. China has maintained a ‘zero-Covid’ policy which has significantly affected its demand for glutinous rice imports.

Vietnam’s rice exports to China in January-July 2022 dropped by 27.5 percent in quantity.
Export of glutinous rice was 223,464 tons, a fall of 53 percent year on year.
