NewsletterNewsletterRice Market Monitor - September 2005 2005There have been a number of revisions to FAO’s forecasts on paddy production in 2005, resulting in much less buoyant prospects for crops this season. The outlook deteriorated especially in the case of China and India, the two major paddy producers, but also of Colombia, Cuba, the Republic of Korea, Laos, Nepal, Pakistan, and Venezuela. By contrast, expectations over production in Ecuador, the Philippines, the United States and Viet Nam improved.

NewsletterNewsletterRice Market Monitor - December 2005 2005As production prospects in several of the major rice producing countries have improved substantially compared with the September outlook, the FAO forecast for global paddy production in 2005 has been raised by 7 million tonnes, to 622 million tonnes, which would be 2.6 percent higher than in 2004 ....

NewsletterNewsletterRice Market Monitor - March 2005 2005• Following less buoyant assessments of crops in Cambodia, China and Laos, FAO has revised downward its estimate of global paddy production in 2004, which now stands at 605 million tonnes. If confirmed at that level, the 2004 season will end with a 4 percent increase in production compared with 2003, with most of the expansion concentrated in China, Indonesia, Japan, Pakistan, the Philippines and Viet Nam. Egypt, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, the United States and the European Union are also estim ated to have harvested larger crops in 2004. By contrast, a number of setbacks, in the form of floods and droughts, impaired the paddy seasons in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Thailand, which are all set to experience a contraction. Production in 2004 is also anticipated to fall in Central America, a result of disease problems and drought, but also in Ecuador, Guyana and Peru. Although recovering from the extremely poor outcome in 2003, production in Australia remained well below the levels reached before 2002, when lingering drought problems started affecting the crop.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018. -
Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms. -
