Rice was the Vietnamese product with the highest export value to Philippines in the first six months of 2024, with a turnover of $1.2 billion, up 41% over the same period last year.
Vietnamese rice has been leading the market in the Philippines, Vietnam's largest rice export partner for many years, according to data from the Vietnam Trade Office in the Philippines.

In June, the Philippines reduced rice import tax from 35% to 15% until 2028, and is expected to increase import volume from 4 million to 4.5 million tons. The Vietnam Trade Office in the Philippines recommends that businesses need to balance costs to offer competitive prices and maintain market share.

At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Embassy and the Vietnam Trade Office will also support businesses in trade promotion activities, advertising and improving product quality to increase export value, it said.

The brand of rice that Ph imports from Vietnam is Young Chow and this is a sticky rice Filipinos like to eat. The imported rice is much cheaper than the rice produced in the Philippines.
