Synopsis (short abstract) 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.

    Selon les dernières estimations de la FAO, la production mondiale de paddy en 2002 serait de 582 millions de tonnes (389 millions de tonnes d'équivalent usiné), soit 2.4 millions de tonnes de moins que les estimations données dans le rapport précédent. Cela étant, la campagne aura été marquée par une contraction de 16 millions de tonnes par rapport à l'année précédente, la production étant tombée à son niveau le plus faible depuis 1998. La campagne de paddy de 2003 étant déjà commenc ée dans l'hémisphère sud, les incidences de l'épisode El Niño influeront sans doute sur les conditions météorologiques dans plusieurs pays producteurs au cours des mois à venir, ce qui aura sans doute des conséquences sur la production.

    The main season paddy crops are nearing maturation in many producing countries in the Northern Hemisphere, some of which have already engaged in harvesting. In the Southern Hemisphere, the 2002 season has drawn to a conclusion and preparations for the 2003 season are underway. FAO’s forecast for paddy production in 2002 now stands at 588 million tonnes (393 million tonnes milled equivalent), over 6 million tonnes less than earlier anticipated and nearly 9 million tonnes below last season’s rev ised outcome.

    Despite a recent deterioration of prospects for global paddy production this season, a recovery from the 2002 low levels continues to be foreseen, with 2003 global paddy production now forecast to grow by 3 percent to 591 million tonnes. Much of the year-to-year increase would be on account of India, where production is forecast to rise by 18 percent. Sizeable production gains are anticipated in several other Asian countries, in particular Bangladesh, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Myanma r, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. Those increases will more than offset an expected contraction in China, Japan and the Rep. of Korea.
