Rice exports hit 7 million tonnes

 Vietnam has signed contracts to export seven million tonnes of rice so far this year.

Fragrant rice has accounted for a high percentage of rice exports with an estimated 400,000 tonnes.

The Vietnam Food Association (VFA) says there are many positive signs for rice exports to Vietnam’s traditional markets such as the Philippines and Indonesia.

According to the VFA, Vietnam is likely to ship 6.5-7 million tonnes of rice to foreign markets in 2012.
