Synopsis (short abstract) Overall, global paddy production in 2000 is forecast to decline by 13 million tonnes to 594 million tonnes, about 2 percent less than last season. The contraction reflects a widespread shift towards other crops, induced by the weak rice prices that have prevailed since last year, and weather-related damage in a number of countries.

    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.

In the Southern Hemisphere and around the equatorial belt, this season’s main paddy crop is nearing completion.
