Except for the Philippines, the country’s three major traditional rice importing countries such as China, Indonesia and Bangladesh all imported much less in the first half of the year. Speakers at a conference held yesterday in HCM City discuss the status of Viet Nam's rice exports in the first half of the year. Meanwhile, countries such as Myanmar, Cambodia, and Pakistan are trying to increase their rice export output. Khánh said the decree was a breakthrough in institutional policy regarding rice export activities, removing difficulties for rice firms. The decree also stipulates additional regulations on the responsibilities of ministries, sectors and localities in rice export management.
