Vietnam: Grain and Feed Update
Despite El Nino, MY 2014/2015 (January-December 2015) Vietnam rice production is expected to have a slight increase in paddy volume. Meanwhile, rice bran is in short supply because of less rice export volume. Local corn production fall short, unlike rice production due to prolonged draught in the Central Highland and other corn growing areas, corn production is estimated down about 300,000 tons, resulted from lower crop yield. Feed wheat imported into Vietnam is estimated to increase about 200,000 tons in calendar year 2015 to substitute the short of other supplies.
