Vietnam wins a supply contract of 150,000 tons of rice to Philippines

According to the Reuters, the Philippines’s National Food Authority (NFA) invited Thailand and Vietnam to take part in a bid to supply 250,000 tonnes of 25 percent broken white rice, and will be shipped to the Philippines in July and August this year.

Firstly, Vietnam and Thailand made initial offers of 419.35 and 419 USD per tonne, respectively but the NFA did not accept both as they were higher than the reference price of 410.12 USD per tonne.
