NewsletterNewsletterRice Market Monitor - June 2006 2006
Also available in:
No results found.FAO has revised upwards by 3 million tonnes its forecast for global paddy production in 2006, which now stands at 637 million tonnes, only 1.0 percent more than in 2005. Such a sluggish growth is imputable to a general rise in production, processing and marketing costs, but also reflects expectations that growing conditions in the current season might not be as favourable as in 2005. Asian countries are now expected to gather 577 million tonnes in 2006, 4 million tonnes more than previously fo recast and 7.5 million tonnes larger than last year. Much of the increase would reflect progress in Bangladesh, China and Viet Nam and, to a smaller extent, in Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Thailand. Crop prospects continue to be negative in Japan, the Republic of Korea and Sri Lanka and, now, also in Pakistan. -

No results found.Global paddy output for 2002 is now forecast at 589 million tonnes, up 2 million tonnes from the previous estimate, but still 4 million tonnes lower than the 2001 figure. The improved production outlook partly reflects upward revisions for some Asian countries, following expectations of a timely arrival of monsoon rains and of a less disruptive El Niño than originally foreseen. -

Also available in:
No results found.FAO’s March forecast of global paddy production in 2007 has been raised by 5 million tonnes to 638 million tonnes, which would represent a mere 1 percent increase from 2006. So far into the season, only countries situated in the Southern Hemisphere have harvested their main 2007 crops, the results of which have been rather disappointing.

Book (stand-alone)High-profileState of knowledge of soil biodiversity - Status, challenges and potentialities
Report 2020
2020Also available in:
No results found.There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats. -
