Synopsis (short abstract) 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.

    Planting of the 2000/01 paddy season is now underway in some of the Northern Hemisphere countries but the bulk of the crop is yet to be planted pending the arrival of Monsoon rains on the Asian continent. In the Southern Hemisphere and around the equatorial belt, this season’s main paddy crop is nearing completion.

    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.

    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.
