Rice market situation in Vietnam

Country
Viet Nam

Description

[Synopsis]

The Vietnamese government has imposed on export quota system on its rice exports to maintain the domestic rice at the targeted level. However, this export quota system exerts a negative impact on the income of the rice producers, because the expanding rice production causes a market situation characterized by over-supply. Based on an econometric model, a simulation study projected a further decline in the rice price when the export quota system is fixed at the current level. The relaxation of export control was found to be effective in raising the rice farmers' income in Vietnam.
