Pakistan outperforms Vietnam in rice exports

Dawn • 2 Nov 2026, 6:06 AM PKT • 1 min read

Pakistan exported 420,000 tonnes of rice in September 2026, exceeding Vietnam’s 337,000 tonnes, according to trade figures cited by Dawn. Pakistani shipments also earned an average of $621 per tonne, against $563 for Vietnam, while global Basmati trade remained at 6.9 million tonnes, matching 2025.

The report says Pakistan’s rice exports rose 51pc in the July-September quarter of 2026, with foreign exchange receipts up 37pc despite shipping disruption. Industry expert Hamid Malik attributed the sector’s stronger start to carry-over stocks and an 18 to 20pc increase in planted area, alongside available fertiliser, agricultural credit and institutional backing. The figures put Pakistan ahead of Vietnam in both September shipment volume and average export value.
