Synopsis (short abstract) With the 2014 season fairly advanced, firmer crop estimates have been issued, which have resulted overall in a slight increase of 250 000 tonnes in the global paddy production forecast. At country level, prospects for the 2014 season output have improved since the October release of this report, particularly for China, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Nigeria, and Viet Nam. The higher figures more than compensated for a downgrading in India, hit by the cyclonic storm Hudhud , and in the Democra tic People's Republic of Korea and Thailand, which both endured severe precipitation shortfalls. Disruptions to agricultural activities caused by the Ebola outbreak also worsened prospects for Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. At 744.7 million tonnes (496.6 million tonnes, milled basis), the resulting 2014 global production forecast would be slightly (0.2 percent) lower than the 2013 level, reflecting a 0. 1 percent contraction of both plantings and yields to 162.9 million hectares and 4.57 tonn es per hectare , respectively brought about by unfavourable weather conditions.

    FAO’s forecast for world paddy output in 2001 have been raised by 3.4 million tonnes from the previous outlook, mainly on account of upward adjustments in Bangladesh, India and China. At the forecast level of 590.2 million tonnes, global paddy production would be almost 6 million tonnes, or 1 percent below the level harvested in 2000.

    Overall, global paddy production in 2000 is forecast to decline by 14 million tonnes to 594 million tonnes, about 2 percent less than the last season. The contraction in output was brought about by relatively low prices of rice, unfavourable weather conditions and, in some instances, government policies that have led to a cut in the area under rice.

    The 2015 paddy season is coming to a close, but the likely influence of a strong El Niño weather anomaly over the next few months could still exert much influence on 2015 production outcomes, as the period coincides with the development of the 2015 secondary crops.
