Synopsis (short abstract) Harvesting of the 2002 main paddy crops in the northern hemisphere is at an advanced stage and many countries are releasing firmer estimates of this season’s production. In the Southern Hemisphere and around the equatorial belt, the 2002 crops were generally harvested over the first half of the year and, in many countries, planting of the 2003 crop has already begun.

    World paddy production in 2002 is now forecast at 595 million tonnes, up 6 million tonnes from the previous estimate, but still 1 million tonnes below the 2001 figure. The bulk of the 2002 main paddy season crops have now been planted throughout countries of the Northern Hemisphere, while countries located in the Southern Hemisphere and the equatorial belt, are harvesting their secondary crops.

    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.

    The 1999 paddy season is progressing well in the Northern Hemisphere countries under generally favourable conditions, while in the Southern Hemisphere and around the equatorial belt, harvesting of the 1999 main paddy crop season is virtually done. Production in several countries is expected to rebound from last season’s depressed level due to a combination of larger plantings and higher yields. A number of countries are anticipating record production. Based on crop estimates in the Southern Hemisphere and the crop progress reports in several countries in the Northern Hemisphere, FAO is tentatively forecasting global paddy output in 1999 to reach an all time high of 582 million tonnes, barring any unforeseen natural calamities.
