KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters): Malaysia has enough rice to last two and a half months, the Agriculture and Food Industry Ministry told Reuters on Friday (March 27), after Vietnam suspended exports to feed its own people amid the Covid-19 epidemic.

Vietnam, the third-largest rice exporter, on Wednesday said it would not sign any new rice export contracts until March 28 to ensure sufficient domestic supplies, raising concerns about global food security.

The country has 500,000 tonnes of rice stocks and consumes 200,000 tonnes a month, according to data from the Agriculture and Food Industries Ministry provided to Reuters. "Our next step is to also purchase rice from other countries including Pakistan, India, Myanmar and Thailand, ” it said.
