The actual price within this range also depends on order volume, contract term (3, 6, or 12 months), and delivery area. Large-volume orders with long-term commitments receive better pricing compared to small, short-term orders.
Why Is the Price of Rice Husk Pellets Rising?
The price of rice husk pellets is directly influenced by two main factors:
Raw Material Supply
Rice husk pellets are made from rice husk — a by-product of the rice milling process. Rice husk pellet prices fluctuate with the rice growing season and rice export conditions. When rice export prices rise, the rice husk supply does not increase proportionally with industrial fuel demand, putting upward pressure on input costs.
Sharply Rising Market Demand
2025–2026 has seen a wave of textile dyeing factories converting to rice husk pellets in place of fossil fuels, driven by environmental standards required across the supply chain by major brands such as Nike, Adidas, and Decathlon. This is a structural trend rather than a short-term fluctuation — demand is growing faster than supply expansion, pushing overall prices higher than in previous years.
Market Signals for the Coming Month
The Mekong Delta is currently in its summer-autumn crop season; rising rice export prices are driving up the cost of rice husk raw material. However, the expected increase is not significant, as the summer-autumn crop is not the year’s main harvest season. https://vietfood.org.vn/gia-gao-xuat-khau-cua-cac-nuoc-tren-the-gioi-ngay-10-08-2026/
Given the current pace of industrial demand growth, any seasonal price dip (if it occurs) is unlikely to be enough to bring rice husk pellet prices back down to previous lows.
How Does the Rice Husk Pellet Price Affect Factory Production Costs?
For factories that have already converted to biomass boilers, fuel cost is one of the largest and most frequently fluctuating operating expenses. Tracking monthly price trends helps procurement teams:
When Should Factories Place Their Orders?
An Nguyen Phat recommends that factories finalize their Q4 2026 orders early, as raw material prices tend to stay elevated toward year-end due to peak-season production demand, coinciding with the period when dyeing and sportswear factories ramp up output to meet major brands’ year-end orders.
Signing quarterly or 6-month contracts, instead of purchasing in individual batches, helps factories:
