(PLO)- Many exporters cannot meet the conditions for rice export business, so they have to entrust qualified businesses with a fee of 1-5 USD/ton.
The Vietnam Federation of Trade and Industry (VCCI) has just commented on the Draft Decree amending and supplementing a number of articles of Decree 107/2018/ND-CP on rice export business that the Ministry of Industry and Trade has approved. Thuong is consulting.
Commenting on the conditions for rice export business, VCCI said that, as reflected by businesses, there are still many conditions that are only suitable for large rice exporters, which are difficult for small businesses to meet. Okay. Such as the conditions of the granary, the mill, the rice mill, etc.
VCCI shared that many Vietnamese enterprises are very active in finding new markets such as Europe, Canada, the Middle East, etc. However, these markets only require a small quantity of rice, but high requirements for quality. , preservation specifications, good packaging and good price. Customers in these markets also often have the need to find businesses that supply many types of agricultural products at the same time, not just rice.
Because it is not possible to meet the above-mentioned high rice export business conditions, many businesses are forced to entrust exports to qualified enterprises. The commission fee is about 1-5 USD/ton of goods.
In other words, enterprises with business eligibility certificates are entitled to lease business eligibility certificates to enjoy this fee. Invisibly, regulations on rice export conditions are making Vietnam’s rice grains more expensive and harder to export,” VCCI commented.

Since then, VCCI has suggested that in the long term, the drafting agency should continue to reduce the conditions for rice export business investment, towards market liberalization.
In addition, the guarantee of compulsory rice reserves should be implemented in the form of the State ordering enterprises according to the market mechanism, instead of administrative measures as at present.
VCCI also suggested that the drafting agency should abolish the regulation that every 5 years, enterprises must apply for a new certificate of eligibility for rice export business with the same procedures to prove business eligibility as the first time. .
Because, according to the provisions of Decree 107 and the reflection of enterprises, the local Departments of Industry and Trade still periodically check enterprises on meeting business conditions and promptly detect and revoke certificates of eligibility. business conditions for enterprises are not eligible.
“Since there is a regular inspection to meet the conditions, it is not necessary to require enterprises to apply for a new certificate every 5 years,” VCCI commented.
Regarding the issuance of certificates of eligibility for rice export business, VCCI recommends transferring the authority from the Ministry of Industry and Trade to the Provincial People’s Committee or the Department of Industry and Trade. The Department of Industry and Trade is responsible for reporting on licensing to the Ministry of Industry and Trade and enterprises still have to report their activities to the Ministry of Industry and Trade periodically.
The reason for this proposal, according to VCCI, is because rice exporters are mainly in the Mekong Delta, so if you have to go to the Ministry of Industry and Trade to submit the application, it will cost a lot of money and travel time. . Meanwhile, the inspection of eligibility for warehouses and milling machines is still regularly performed by the Departments of Industry and Trade.
