In the face of complicated developments in global foodtrade, including India's ban on export of non-basmati white rice, Russia'swithdrawal from the Black Sea Grain Initiative, climate change and El Ninophenomenon, the MoIT has coordinated with the Ministry of Agriculture andRural Development and the People’s Committees of rice production localities,the Vietnam Food Association as well as rice traders to roll out variousmeasures to regulate rice production and export activities in 2023, whileensuring the stability of the domestic rice market.
At the same time, the MoIT has regularly inspected rice business and exporting activities of traders. It has revokedthe rice export certificate from 28 traders who did not export rice for 18consecutive months after receiving the certificate, contributing to creating abusiness environment that is more open, transparent, and fairer in line withthe law./.
