Vietnam said it will stockpile 270,000 tonnes of rice, including 80,000
tonnes of unhusked rice, to ensure food availability amid
coronavirus-driven supply chain disruptions worldwide.
The first 190,000 tonnes of rice is to be warehoused by June 15, the Ministry of Finance said in a statement late on Thursday.
"Food security must always be the first priority," the statement said.
The
Vietnamese government said on Wednesday it would halt signing new rice
export contracts until March 28 at the earliest under a review to ensure
it has enough domestic supplies to cope with the virus outbreak.
