Also available in:
No results found.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. -

No results found.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. -

No results found.FAO’s current estimate for the 1998 global paddy production is 560 million tonnes, down by 17 million tonnes from the 1997 record output. The fall is largely attributed to weather-related problems that affected crops in the major producing countries, particularly China (Mainland) and Bangladesh. In some other cases, such as Japan and Egypt, lower production was the result of domestic policies designed to limit the area under rice.

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2020
Main report
2020FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests. -
