    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.

    In the Northern Hemisphere, harvesting of the 1999 main-season paddy crops is proceeding in a number of countries. Growing conditions have been generally favourable although flood-related problems have been reported. However, the damage to rice crops has been minor and relatively large harvests are expected in some 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.
