Synopsis (short abstract) Global paddy production in the 2000 rice season, about to be concluded, is currently estimated at 594 million tonnes, or 17 million tonnes less than the record achieved in 1999. The fall reflects the general weakness of prices, which has encouraged a shift towards other crops, weather-related problems in some areas and changes in China’s cereal policies, which have prompted a cut in plantings.
