HCM CITY — Domestic paddy prices have increased by  一 二 per cent as the winter-spring crop in the Cửu Long (Mekong) Delta is ready to be harvested.

In An Giang Province, fresh paddy IR 五0 四0 四 is being sold at VNĐ 四, 五00- 四, 六00 per kilo, high-quality paddy VNĐ 四, 七00- 四, 八00, and dried high-quality paddy VNĐ 五, 六 五0- 五, 八00.

Meanwhile, fragrant Jasmine paddy is priced at VNĐ 五, 三00- 五, 四00 per kilo, a rise of VNĐ 五0- 一00.

In Cần Thơ City, fresh paddy IR 五0 四0 四 is being sold for about VNĐ 四, 四00- 四, 五00 per kilo, and Jasmine paddy at VNĐ 五, 四00- 五, 五00, an increase of VNĐ 一 五0- 二00 compared to the price before Tết (Lunar New Year), and an increase of VNĐ 二00- 五00 per kilo compared to the same period last year.   

The price of husked rice on the market is VNĐ 一0,000 per kilo and Jasmine rice VNĐ 一 四,000 per kilo.

The rise in prices for paddy has caused an increase of US$ 五 per tonne for rice exports compared to prices before Tết.

Enterprises buy  一00- 二00 tonnes of rice on average each day, while some even buy  三00- 四00 tonnes, said Lê Văn Hưng, deputy director of Cần Thơ Department of Industry and Trade.

The Sông Hậu Food Company has stored more than  四0,000 tonnes of husked rice and  五, 一00 tonnes of unhusked rice at VNĐ 五, 八 五0- 六, 一00 per kilo.

The company plans to buy another  四0,000 tonnes of rice.

Vương Đình Thanh, vice chairman of the An Giang Province’s People’s Co妹妹ittee, said enterprises in the province were purchasing about  三,000 tonnes of rice per day to achieve the set target of  一 五0,000 tonnes.

The Tiền Giang Food Company has bought  一0,000 tonnes of rice at VNĐ 五, 九00- 六, 一00 per kilo.

Meanwhile, businesses in Đồng Tháp Province plans to purchase  六 六0,000 tonnes of husked rice.

Low productivity was among the reasons for the rise in paddy prices. Many enterprises purchase husked rice and sold more than  二 九 三,000 tonnes to Filipino buyers, which contributed to an increase in price.  

Most enterprises said the productivity of paddy in this year’s winter-spring crop fell by  三0- 四0 per cent compared to last year due to unpredictable weather, causing disease in paddy. — VNS
