    Rice Market Monitor - February 2003 2003
    Also available in:

    FAO's latest estimate of global paddy production in 2002 stands at 582 million tonnes (389 million tonnes in milled equivalent), down 2.4 million tonnes from the previous report. At that level, the season will end with a 16 million tonne year-to-year contraction, with production falling to its lowest level since 1998. While the 2003 paddy season already commenced in the Southern Hemisphere, the prevalence of an El Niño episode is anticipated to influence the weather pattern in several producin g countries in the coming months, with likely consequences over production in 2003.

    The 2008 paddy s eason is coming to a close with much more buoyant expectations over production thanpreviously anticipated. FAO’s latest prospects point to a level of world paddy production in 2008 of 683 million tonnes (456 million tonnes, milled rice equivalent), 23 million tonne, or 3.5 percent more than in 2007 and the fastest growth since 2005. The increase would be based on a 2.2 percent rise of the area to 159 million hectares, a positive reaction to high prices and to government support.
