Vietnam to sell 30,000 tonnes of rice to Iraq

The Vietnam Northern Food Corporation (Vinafood 1) recently won a contract to provide 30,000 tonnes of jasmine rice for Iraq worth US$668 per tonnes (C&F).

The US and Uruguay also won bids to ship 30,000 and 60,000 tonnes of rice to Iraq respectively at the price of US$717 a tonne (C&F).

Vinafood1 recently paid a working visit to Mexico where they held working sessions with the Mexican Produce Foundation, plant veterinary agency, and some rice importers.

The two sides reached an agreement on quality assurance of rice to be imported into Mexico.

This year Vietnam plans to export 70,000 tonnes of 5% broken rice to Mexico.
