NewsletterNewsletterRice Market Monitor - March 2007 2007Estimates of world paddy production in 2006 have been cut by 2 million tonnes since December 2006, to 629 million tonnes. At that level, the 2006 paddy season, just concluded, would yield 4 million tonnes less than the record achieved in 2005. Much of the contraction is anticipated to reflect smaller crops in Asia, which were negatively affected by an irregular pattern of the monsoons and insect attacks. Production also fell in Latin America and the Caribbean, but rose in Africa for the fifth consecutive year. Results were mixed in the rest of the world.

No results found.FAO’s March forecast of global paddy production in 2007 has been raised by 5 million tonnes to 638 million tonnes, which would represent a mere 1 percent increase from 2006. So far into the season, only countries situated in the Southern Hemisphere have harvested their main 2007 crops, the results of which have been rather disappointing. -
NewsletterNewsletterRice Market Monitor - December 2007 2007With the bulk of the 2007 season paddy crops already harvested, the FAO forecast of world paddy production in 2007 has been lifted by 2 million tonnes to 645 million tonnes (430 million tonnes in milled rice eq.), which represents a modest increase of 4 million tonnes, or 0.6 percent, from 2006. Virtually all of the year-to-year world expansion is expected to arise in Asia, while contractions are anticipated in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean and Oceania, where crops have been co nstrained by adverse weather often associated with “La Niña” conditions. Production in Asia is now foreseen to expand by about 5 million tonnes to 585 million tonnes, spearheaded by large absolute gains in China, India, Indonesia and Myanmar, but also in the Islamic Republic of Iran, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, the Philippines and Thailand. By contrast, Bangladesh, Cambodia, DPR of Korea, the Rep. of Korea, Sri Lanka and Turkey are forecast to face a decline. Exceptionally wet conditions pre vailed in large parts of Africa, hindering crops in most locations and causing production in the region to fall to an expected 21.6 million tonnes, slightly below the good 2006 performance. Much of the decline is foreseen to concentrate in Egypt, but also in Cote d’Ivoire, Guinea Bissau, Mali and Nigeria. By contrast, Benin, Chad, Guinea, Madagascar, Mozambique, Senegal and Tanzania are set to harvest larger crops.

Participez à l’Initiative Villes Vertes de la FAO
2023Ce dépliant donne un aperçu simple de l'initiative "Villes vertes", qui vise à améliorer l'environnement urbain, à renforcer les liens entre la ville et la campagne et à accroître la résilience des systèmes, services et populations urbains face aux chocs extérieurs. En garantissant l'accès à un environnement sain et à des régimes alimentaires sains grâce à des systèmes agroalimentaires durables, en augmentant la disponibilité d'espaces verts grâce à la foresterie urbaine et périurbaine, elle contribuera également à l'atténuation et à l'adaptation au changement climatique et à la gestion durable des ressources. Un "réseau de villes vertes" permettra aux villes de toutes tailles - des mégapoles aux villes moyennes et petites - de partager leurs expériences, leurs meilleures pratiques, leurs succès et les leçons apprises, ainsi que de créer des opportunités de coopération entre villes.
