Synopsis (short abstract) 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.

    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.

    Based on crop results in the Southern Hemisphere and expectations of bumper harvests in several countries in the Northern Hemisphere, FAO is provisionally estimating global paddy output in 1999/2000 at 593 million tonnes, 1.9 percent more than in the previous season. By comparison, the increase in 1998/1999 was only 0.9 percent, as the season was plagued with weather-related problems in the major producing countries.
