NewsletterNewsletterRice Market Monitor - September 2004 2004FAO forecast of global paddy production in 2004 has been lowered to 608 million tonnes, because of adverse weather conditions in several northern hemisphere countries. Estimated world production in the previous 2003 season was also revised downward, as several countries released new, less buoyant estimates of their 2003 crops. Following those changes, forecast production in 2004 still shows an increase of 4 percent, or 24 million tonnes, compared with 2003.

NewsletterNewsletterRice Market Monitor - January 2004 2004As the 2003 rice season is coming to an end, production estimates have become of greater certainty. The latest figures point to a 3 percent increase in global paddy production to 591 million tonnes in 2003 as a favourable monsoon should make output rebound in Asia. The recovery is mainly on account of India, which was affected by unfavourable weather in the preceding season. Increases are also anticipated in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Myanmar, Pakistan, the Philippines and Thailand. By contra st, output tended to stagnate in Indonesia and Vietnam and to fall in China, Japan and the Republic of Korea.

NewsletterNewsletterRice Market Monitor - December 2004 2004FAO forecast of global paddy production in 2004 has been raised by 3 million tonnes to 611 million tonnes, following improved expectations for China, Indonesia, the Philippines, the United States and Viet Nam, which more than compensated a downgrading of production in Cambodia, Japan, Peru and Thailand. The season outlook also deteriorated in Africa, where crops have been impaired by irregular precipitation and by a locust infestation.
