Vietnam is in tcess of international integration Therefore, the development of economic activities is extremely important, including export activities In the current export structure, rice is one of the export strengths of our country Over the past years, Vietnam has always been one of the largest rice exporters in the world, maintained at a relatively high threshold, accounting for a large part of the total rice export value of the world Thanks to favorable natural conditions, culture is a wet rice civilization Vietnam is increasingly developing and asserting its economic strength Especially in 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic spreads strongly, but Vietnam still stabilizes the economy That has made the economy in general and rice export in particular achieve many proud achievements However, we have not fully exploited our strengths as well as limit risks in rice production and export On the other hand, to better understand current and future challenges, then find solutions So we decided to choose the topic "analysis of Vietnam's rice export activities" I I.1 Chapter 1: Overview of rice export Rice production in Vietnam Viet Nam is the 5th largest rice producer in the world In the first seven months of 2020, Vietnam is the country with the second highest output and export value of rice in the world while the context of the spreading Covid-19 epidemic Specifically, rice export in the first seven months of the year reached nearly million tons with a value of $2 billion Vietnam is an agricultural country with a long history of cultivation Rice is the main product of agriculture Rice not only contributes to ensuring people's lives, but also plays a strategic role in Vietnam’s food security Currently, it also contributes a huge part to the value of total export turnover promoting the industrialization and modernization of the country Vietnam has two major deltas, the Red River Delta and the Mekong River Delta In which, the Mekong Delta is the main rice exporter As of September 2019, the cultivated area of winter rice in the whole country reached 1,558.1 thousand hectares, equaling 96.5% of the same period in 2018, of which 1,075.9 thousand hectares in the North, the South reached 482.2 thousand hectares The cultivated area of winter rice in the North in 2019 was low, of which the Red River Delta region reached 497 thousand hectares, a decrease of 19.6 thousand hectares compared to the crop in 2018; The Northern Midlands and Mountains reached 421.5 thousand hectares, down 2.6 thousand hectares; The North Central Coast reached 157.4 thousand hectares, a decrease of 6.3 thousand hectares The main reason is that localities change part of the rice-growing area to use for other purposes In some localities, the area of winter rice decreased significantly: Hanoi decreased by 5.4 thousand hectares; Thanh Hoa decreased by 5.2 thousand hectares; Hai Phong decreased by 2.8 thousand hectares; Phu Tho decreased by 2.3 thousand hectares Up to now, early season rice tea in the North is in the stage of sure grain and ripening, and has harvested 176.5 thousand hectares, equaling 117.2% of the same period in 2018; the productivity was estimated at 50.2 quintal / ha, an increase of 0.7 quintal / The harvest progress of winter rice in 2019 is faster than the same period in 2018 due to being planted early As of October 15, the whole country harvested 888.7 thousand hectares, accounting for 54.8% of the cultivated area and equaling 101.7% of the same period last year Although the weather in the hot season is hotter than the average for many years, due to the alternating rainfall, the water source is guaranteed, farmers actively nurture, rice grows and develops well, and the localities actively to change the crop structure, use quality rice varieties, apply technical advances in production, promptly prevent diseases on plants However, due to the reduction of the cultivated area, the output of winter rice in 2019 reached 8.09 million tons, down 176.6 thousand tons compared to the previous season Along with the care and harvesting of winter rice, localities across the country basically finished the summer-autumn rice production with the cultivated area reaching 2,009.3 thousand hectares, down 43.7 thousand hectares compared to the summer-autumn crop In 2018, in some localities, the area of summer-autumn rice decreased much: Kien Giang decreased 14.4 thousand hectares due to changing the crop structure from summerautumn to autumn-winter; Tien Giang decreased by 11.9 thousand hectares; Binh Thuan reduced by 4.7 thousand hectares; Dong Thap decreased 2.3 thousand hectares According to reports by localities, the whole country's summer-autumn rice yield in 2019 was estimated at 54.8 quintals / ha, an increase of 0.2 quintals / compared to the previous summer-autumn crop, but due to the decrease in cultivated area, the output Overall, the whole summer-autumn crop in 2019 reached 11.01 million tons, down 197 thousand tons Of which, the Mekong River Delta reached 8.7 million tons, down 96.6 thousand tons I.2 I.2.1 Export activity of rice in Vietnam Theory of rice export Export is the activities of selling and transporting goods out of the Vietnamese territory or into a special area located on the territory of Vietnam which is considered a separate customs area under the provisions of law for production and business development Exports are more complex than domestic purchases on the basis of using currency as payment method Exports are the primary activity of foreign trade but play an important role in international business Rice export is the activity of selling and transporting rice out of Vietnam territory to other country in the world Use currency as a payment method Rice export is carried out in accordance with the process and law Rice exports contribute to the economic restructuring of our country, promote rice production, and help solve food and employment problems in Vietnam as well as in the world I.2.2 Criteria for evaluating the quality of exported rice To keep the brand as well as the price of rice exported, the state and enterprises will have criteria to evaluate the quality of rice This is a very important issue to be able to export rice to foreign markets, because each market will have different criteria for importing rice, so the exporters country must pay more attention Table 1.1: Export rice standards I.2.3 Rice policy in Vietnam Rice export is not simply exporting rice to other markets but it must follow strict policies and regulations on export issued by the Government The government has developed many policies to navigate, promote and develop rice production through policies such as: land policies, investment and signals policies, private agriculture policies, domestic rice distribution policies and international trade policies a Land policy From the planned economy to the market economy Vietnam took the first steps to initially grant land use rights to farmers Land policy is seen as a stepping stone, and the first steps are important role In 1988, the government granted farmers the right to use the land for a period of 1015 years and to choose the varieties and crops along with the number of products supplied to the market In 1993, the land law was revised Farmers are allowed to choose the type of land use and duration up to 20 years, but only apply to annual harvest crops Particularly for perennial crops, the term is up to 50 years It can be seen that it is an important criterion to make the effectiveness of rice production continuously increase over the years It is also through allowing people to exchange, transfer, lease, and mortgage From these positive effects, the Government has made policies to promote large-scale commodity agricultural production through parallel farm development While allowing a transformation of production structure based on concentration of land and reduction rice land b Investment and credit policy Over the years, the Government has attempted to renovate the irrigation system, mainly in terms of infrastructure supporting rural production and development to invest in agricultural In the 90s, irrigation investment accounted for 70% of total investment in the agricultural sector, especially is rice in the Mekong River Delta On official rural credit there is Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (VBARD) This is the Vietnam Bank for Farmers and the People's Credit Fund (PCF) to help support rural finance and secure inputs for agricultural production; increase the application of technology in harvesting and exporting agricultural products; support agricultural diversification; rural infrastructure improvement; poverty reduction and natural disaster reduction Ensuring farmers' loans and supporting poor farmers in remote, mountainous areas Particularly for rice growing households, the increase from million to 10 million without collateral c Policy on agricultural materials In the period of economic development, the role of the cooperative system is no longer stable and developing but tends to decline Whereas before that, materials were distributed through cooperatives, materials were traded and provided freely Nowadays, the role of the private economy is gradually replaced and developed, so the distribution of agricultural materials has gradually become important Import tax on fertilizers and pesticides is almost negligible From these positive trends, the Government also encourages farmers to improve rice varieties through the abolition of import tax on seeds, price subsidies for hybrids, and subsidy for seed transportation to reach the target of 70% of new rice varieties The government also implements policies to subsidize transportation of agricultural materials for mountainous areas and to subsidize fuel prices d Domestic rice distribution policy The system is a coherent and unified network However, the rice distribution system in Vietnam is very complicated, with many complicated links between buyers and sellers such as agents, farmers, collectors, millers, wholesalers, retailers and state-owned enterprises Since the 1980s, the policy change has positively contributed to the development of the free rice distribution system in Vietnam Domestic market barriers were removed, allowing free development and competition between agents The private economic sector is increasingly expanding and playing an important role Specifically, the private sector currently accounts for about 95% of the domestic market share, a figure showing that the role of state-owned enterprises in the domestic rice market has decreased e International trade policy In the early 1990s, to ensure national food security, the Government of Vietnam controlled all rice exports through export permits and quotas and allowed only SOEs to export rice 10 China is one of the top rice importers of Vietnam In 2017, the amount of rice exported to China reached 2.29 million tons, with 39.5% of the total export quantity In 2018, the amount of rice that China imported was 1.33 million tons and the export value was 683.36 million USD, down by nearly million tons compared to 2017, but China is still the leading country in import Vietnamese rice In 2019, China is no longer the leading rice importer of Vietnam, but instead is the Philippines In the first months of 2019, the Chinese market only imported nearly 224 thousand tons of rice, worth more than 111.3 million, down nearly 74% over the same period in 2018 (according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade - Report of the Export Department import) And at the first months of 2020, the amount of rice exported to China reached 429,261 tons, equivalent to 257.37 million, the average price is 599.6/ton, accounting for nearly 13.9% of the total quantity and nearly 17, 2% of the total rice export turnover of the country; up 92.4% in quantity, up 131.2% in turnover and up 20% in price The Philippines is also one of the top rice importers of Vietnam From 2019 until now, the Philippines has always held its position as the largest rice importer of Vietnam In 2017, the Philippines was Vietnam's second largest rice importer after China, with Vietnam's rice export to the country was 552.9 thousand tons and the export value reached $ 222.6 million, an increase of 40 % compared to 2016 In 2018, Vietnam's rice export quantity to the Philippines reached 1.02 million tons and the export value was 459.52 million USD In 2019, the Philippines became the top rice importer of Vietnam, the amount of rice exported to the Philippines reached 2.13 million tons of rice with a value of $ 885 million, accounting for 38.6% of the country's total exports The output and export value in 2019 will be double that of 2018 In the first months of 2020, the amount of rice exported reached 1.3 million tons, earning 598.61 million USD, equivalent to 459.6 USD / ton Only the amount of rice exported to this country accounts for more than 41% of the total rice export quantity of Vietnam and accounts for nearly 40% of the total turnover, compared to the same period in 2019 an increase of 22.4% in quantity, an increase of 41.4% in turnover turnover and increase 15.5% in price 19 Figure 2: Top 10 rice export markets of Vietnam get the most price in the first months of 2020 Source: Vietnambiz, top 10 thị trường xuất nhiều nhât tháng đầu năm 2020 In addition, in the first months of 2020 Rice exports increased over the same period last year Strong increase in some markets such as Senegal with 26 times in quantity and 18.3 times in turnover, reaching 28,435 tons and equivalent to 9.73 million USD Indonesia increased 130.8% in quantity and 192.1% in turnover, reaching 34,986 tons, equivalent to 19.83 million USD Export to France increased 164.2% in quantity and 171.6% in turnover, reaching 1,918 tons, equivalent to 1.11 million USD Rice exports fell sharply in some markets such as Brunei, down nearly 92% in both quantity and turnover, Algeria down 92.9% in quantity and 89% in turnover; Angola reduced 89% in quantity and turnover; Turkey decreased 77% in quantity and 83% in turnover; The US decreased by 75.5% in quantity and 69.2% in turnover 20 II.3.4 Vietnam’s export rice competitors India is the largest rice exporter in the world, accounting for more than 25% all around the world The export value of India will reach 9.87 million tons in 2019 In the first five months of 2020, India exported 3.7 million tons However, in October 2020 demand for Indian buyers decreased, caused by the price of Indian rice exports remained high due to the strong rupee Specifically, the price of Indian 5% broken rice fell to the lowest level in nearly months at USD 368 - 372 / ton Although the decrease is still higher than the price of Vietnamese rice This is also an advantage for Vietnam's rice export Thailand is the second largest rice exporter in the world in 2019, Thailand exported 7.58 million tons of rice The amount of rice exported in the first months of 2020 is 2.57 million tons Thai rice competes with other countries for the variety of products and processing quality because of modern Thai production technology and tightly planned raw material areas Currently the rice market in the US has also been less active Rice products are of high quality, mainly exported to difficult markets: Japan, EU, Europe About quality Although Vietnam is a country that exports a lot of output, but the quality is still inferior to other competitors such as Thailand and India Although the same type of rice, but the quality of Vietnam's rice is not equal to that of India About brand: Because the quality of rice is not equal to that of other competitors and the promotion and introduction of rice products are not important, so Vietnam's rice brand is not widely known Or if it is known, it is also of lower quality than India and Thailand That has caused the difference in the export price of rice, although it is the same 5% broken rice product, but Thailand's is 425 USD/ton while Vietnam is only 415 USD/ton However, in 2020, Vietnam will benefit from exporting goods to Europe at the 0% tax rate, as specified in EVFTA The EU gives Vietnam a quota of 80,000 tons of rice In particular, Vietnamese enterprises are completely liberalized in broken rice, allowing businesses to export up to 100,000 tons of broken rice to the EU each year Rice products will enjoy a 0% tax rate after a certain route II.4 SWOT analysis 21 II.4.1 Strengths Firstly, Vietnam has natural conditions suitable for the production and export of rice Vietnam has two major deltas, the Red River Delta and the Mekong River Delta with an estimated 2019 rice growing area of 7.27 million hectares and an estimated rice production of 43.45 million tons (according to the Electricity Portal Ministry of Planning and Investment) Vietnam is classified as a country with abundant water resources with 2360 large and small rivers widely distributed throughout the country creating fertility for the land and providing irrigation water for agricultural production Abundant water resources are one of the most prominent advantages in Vietnam's rice production and export Especially, the two regions of the Red River Delta and the Mekong River Delta are all in tropical monsoon climate with relatively large annual rainfall providing humidity and many other factors that help develop rice plants Second: Vietnam has an abundant human resource: According to the 2019 Census, the total population of Vietnam is 96.2 million, of which the population of rivers in rural areas is 63.1 million accounting for 65.6% of the population and the working population aged 15 and over is estimated at 55.5 million Abundant labor force and cheap labor cost is an advantage to limit costs in the production process Besides, rice cultivation in Vietnam has been around for a long time, so farmers have a lot of experience This shows that Vietnam has an abundant source of labor, knowledge of rice farming and the cheap labor cost, which allows Vietnam to fully exploit the natural advantages for rice production Thirdly, in terms of geography and seaport, Vietnam is bordered by the East Sea, where the East Sea lies on the artery sea traffic route connecting the Pacific - Indian Ocean, Europe - Asia, the Middle East - Asia This is considered the second busiest international transport route in the world The long seaway system and the seaport system is located close to the international seaway, and the continents travel less time than other countries, so it is very convenient for Vietnam to export rice to the international market Fourthly, the State of Vietnam has reasonable policies to facilitate the export of rice The expansion policy helps Vietnam integrate with the world and open export markets with many large countries II.4.2 Weakness 22 Vietnam still faces many difficulties in rice export in recent years Firstly, regarding production: Facilities need a large capital source, but Vietnam still lacks investment capital, so it cannot meet the full facilities for rice production The rice processing technology equipment is outdated, lacks many warehouses, farmers not have much experience in clean and safe cultivation methods, and the production process is not up to standard The weak and asynchronous post-harvest systems affect rice yields Secondly: Quality and brand are also a weak point of Vietnam in rice export Running by output but forgetting quality is one of the shortcomings of Vietnam's rice industry Due to the preservation of rice after harvesting and in the process of circulation is limited leading to the status of rice arising and the problem of termites in finished rice has not been solved The development of specialty rice varieties has not been developed by the State In addition, inappropriate packaging, printing, loading and unloading conditions also affect rice exports in Vietnam Because too focus on output but forget about quality, the brand of Vietnamese rice on the world market is very weak Exporters forget about brand development, not pay attention to the process of promoting Vietnamese rice brands, making Vietnamese rice brands less competitive compared to other rice brands For example, at the same price, customers will trust to use Thai rice more than Vietnamese rice because the Thai rice brand is higher and the customer is recognized Thirdly, regarding prices and markets: Due to limited quality of rice and enterprises in Vietnam are being fiercely competition in the export market, export rice prices in Vietnam are lower than export prices in Vietnam Other countries such as Thailand, India, Unstable supply-demand factors lead to fluctuations in prices, which directly affect the interests of people For example, Vietnam often exports white rice to Africa, but now businesses in Vietnam are competing fiercely with Thai white rice in the African market, the reason is Thailand's war The new strategy is to discharge the rice stock and lower the cost, so Thai white rice has dominated almost completely in Africa II.4.3 Opportunity After joining the WTO rice market, Vietnam has had many opportunities for development Vietnam can create many strengths for the rice export industry due to many commitments such as a commitment to agricultural subsidies for common services, and assistance to disaster mitigation In addition, since Vietnam is a developing country, 23 market access costs are reduced This is a great advantage for Vietnam when participating in price competition when exporting rice As a member of the WTO, Vietnam will enjoy the same preferential treatment and treatment as member countries, for example Vietnam will enjoy reduced tariffs when goods are transferred to member countries advantage Because tariffs and non-tariffs are broken, Vietnam has a great opportunity to develop such as: expanding the market with low and stable tax rates, establishing many relationships Vietnam will enter a potential market, have the opportunity to attract investment capital and earn new profitable rice export contracts for rice exporters in Vietnam Having the opportunity to contact, study and exchange experiences and transfer technology to developed countries such as Japan, the US WTO also creates opportunities for Vietnam to access preferential loans, forms of credit or financial sponsorship from international organizations such as World Bank, IMF, from which Vietnam can invest in the process of producing and exporting rice with better quality Vietnam signed the EVFTA agreement with the EU on June 30, 2020 Through the EVFTA Agreement, Vietnamese rice exported to the European Union (EU) market will enjoy a 0% tax rate, allowing a quota of up to 40,000 tons of rice (out of a total of 85,000 tons according to quotas as committed) The signed Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) is expected to help Vietnam expand rice export markets to CPTPP member countries From the above opportunities, Vietnam can build its brand in the international market and enhance its competitive position II.4.4 Threats Vietnam is a country that has a great advantage in rice production, an average of 6-7 million tons of rice exported in a year Demand for rice is very large, but with high consumption demand, import markets also require stricter rice quality Vietnam's rice exports are still in quantity not focusing on rice quality and food safety, so they not meet the standards of the consumer market, affecting the export quantity For example: the export of rice to the big market of China has stalled, as of midJanuary 2019, the number of rice exported to China was 132,000 tons, down 31.2% compared to the period and the lowest level since 2016 24 Most consumers not know the brand of Vietnamese rice products, while Vietnam has to compete fiercely with major rice exporting countries such as Thailand, India and some emerging countries such as Cambodia, Myanmar, there are types of rice of outstanding quality Vietnam is one of the five countries most affected by climate change Increasing droughts, floods and saline intrusion have greatly affected rice production For example, drought is intruded into Ben Tre province, causing the risk of about 5,200 of rice lost completely due to no irrigation water (according to the Center for Socio-Economic Information and Forecasting) In addition, the infrastructure is backward, especially logistic issues: The ability to access, penetrate the market, negotiate and sign contracts, and handle international trade disputes are still limited is also a barrier to rice exports in Vietnam II.5 Exporting rice contract Some points to note when drafting and signing a contract Before signing, there should be agreement on the terms The contract must be clear, clear, specific, and avoid ambiguity The signatory must be an authorized person Under Article 35 of the CISG, the seller must deliver the goods in accordance with the quantity, quality and description required by the contract and be packaged or packed in the manner required by the contract Therefore, terms and conditions for rice must be clearly stated in the sale contract to avoid any future disputes between the buyer and the seller Mandatory terms in the contract: (i) Name of goods The name of the product is one of the important terms in the international sales contract because it serves as the basis for the delivery of goods, determining the type of goods to be traded Therefore, the name must be clearly, specifically, accurately, avoiding ambiguity in accordance with the provisions of the sale contract For example, the name of rice is too general because there are many other types of rice on the market Besides, the same type of rice is produced in different countries and 25 may be of different quality Therefore, the appropriate description for items such as rice should also include details such as type, place of origin and some required specifications Commodity: Vietnamese Rice Type Pearl (ii) Quality In the contract, the product quality is always paid special attention by the importer When negotiating the quality of products in a contract, clear criteria such as shape, weight, color, taste, physical properties, composition and other aspects of the goods must be given Example: In a contract to export 25% broken rice (40% whole grain) to India, the quality specified part is written as follows: Moisture 12.0% Max Broken 25.0% Max Foreign matter 0.5% Max Red kernel 4.0% Max Damage kernel 2.0% Max Immature kernel 1.0% Max Whole grain: 40% Min If the rice quality is not guaranteed, the transaction will be canceled In addition, the quality of rice is always associated with the price, good quality will enjoy a high price so any change in quality will also lead to a change in price Therefore, it becomes extremely important to define quality in detail (iii) Quantity An integral provision of the purchase agreement The seller is obliged to deliver the exact quantity required in the contract Example: In a contract to export 10,000 tons of rice with a tolerance of 5% selected by the seller, you can choose one of the following options: About 10,000MT approximately 5% at the seller ‟s option About 10,000 MT more or less 5% at the seller ‟s option 26 About from 9500 MT to 10500 MT at the seller ‟s option (iv) Payment In the foreign trade contract, the terms of payment play a very important role, as it is directly related to the interests of the importer and the exporter There are many different payment methods such as: L/C, D/A, D/P, T/T, M/T, CAD, Cash, each method has different advantages and disadvantages It is necessary to research carefully to choose the appropriate payment method (v) Delivery This is a very important clause of the contract, because it defines the specific obligations of the exporter and also binds the parties to fulfill their responsibilities Only when the goods are delivered by the exporter can the money be received The contract will not take effect without this provision II.6 Custom clearance in Vietnam II.6.1 Time and time limit for customs clearance Customs declarants are only allowed to register customs declarations when they have enough goods at the place of customs inspection, except for batches of large quantity or large quantity or in other special cases The chief of the customs at the checkpoint or an equivalent level agrees in writing The person carrying out procedures must complete the customs procedures at the checkpoint before the means of transport departs, at the latest: - 08 hours for shipping by sea - 04 hours for river transport - 04 hours for rail transport - 04 hours for road transport - 02 hours for air freight However, depending on each specific case, the head of the border-gate customs office shall, based on the actual situation of the shipment, decide on the appropriate time limit for customs procedures but must be completed before the transport means depart1 hours 27 II.6.2 The person signed his / her signature on the Customs declaration winch Legal representative (Director, deputy director or person authorized in writing by the director) II.6.3 Related Liability For Customs declarants To prepare valid and legal documents of the goods lot according to regulations before going to the customs office to carry out export procedures; Customs procedures must be carried out publicly, quickly, conveniently and in accordance with law Declare fully, clearly and accurately the goods according to regulations; Determine the goods codes, tax rates, taxable prices of each item, by themselves calculate the payable tax amount of each type of tax on the customs declaration -Pay taxes and fulfill other financial obligations in accordance with the laws on taxes, fees and other regulations of the law Arrange the dossiers by themselves at the place where the Customs prescribes the classification of goods flows according to criteria (green, yellow, red) register the time to produce goods for customs inspection when registering customs dossiers; The customs declaration can be done by typewriter, micro machine calculated, or written by hand but must ensure the same ink (not using red ink), same a typeface The documents submitted to the Customs are copies then the representative The enterprise must sign and affix a stamp of certification on such documents Sign and stamp the declaration after full declaration; submit the declaration with other documents as prescribed Detect and promptly and honestly reflect things that are not in accordance with regulations 28 III Chapter 3: The solution of developing export activities We need to have specific solutions for their export growth and reduce what risks in the production and export process First, we need to diversify rice export markets to reduce risks, businesses need to actively transform from traditional technology to improve rice export quality, suitable for each market Enterprises must research and redistribute the market to not focus on one market 29 Farmers should reorganize production, improve rice quality control rice cultivation and food hygiene and safety Limit the use of many fertilizers and pesticides Exporters and entrepreneurs need to organize and brand the quality and quantity of output Printing brand name on product packaging to promote brand name In addition, entrepreneurs must participate in rice exhibitions or participate in contests on rice products to position rice brands The government invests in a diversified rice development project, seeking more flexible policies The EVFTA Agreement will open up a new opportunity for Vietnamese businesses, which requires businesses to be well prepared and ready to take advantage of the benefits that the Agreement brings In order to make good use of opportunities of the EU market, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has recommended Vietnamese enterprises to actively seek information about the Agreement, especially information on tax incentives The Ministry of Industry and Trade also recommends enterprises to improve product quality and design; Promote competitive advantages, increase performance The Ministry of Industry and Trade emphasized that in order to take advantage of the incentives from the Agreement, enterprises must meet requirements on rules of origin and on technical standards of the EU Conclusion Rice export is one of the important economic activities of our country that especially affects the general economy of our country today Rice export is considered a strong industry of Vietnam for many years, contributing to enriching the country The report has analyzed and evaluated the current situation of Vietnam's rice export, pointing out advantages, difficulties and future solutions of Vietnam's rice industry It also only tells us 30 the importance of the strategy to export rice Vietnam is in the process of international integration, so economic and social development is very important Rice export has helped our country to be present on the world economic map Although there are still many barriers, we have initially solved it In the future, the production and export sector will face many more economic, social difficulties or natural disasters, but through the State's policies, we hope that Vietnam's rice export will still develop REFERENCE [1] Vietdata, Thị trường xuất gạo tháng đầu năm 2019 https://www.vietdata.vn/thi-truong-xuat-khau-gao-9-thang-dau-nam2019946025595 31 [2] Quy trình phân bổ 80.000 gạo
