NewsletterRice Market Monitor - December 2009
Trade and Markets Division
2009FAO’s forecast of global paddy production over the 2009 season has been lifted by nearly 10 million tonnes to 678 million tonnes, 2 percent below 2008’s crop, but still the second highest production on record. The revision to the global production outlook principally reflects better than previously anticipated results in many Asian countries, where overall paddy production is now forecast at 612 million tonnes, some 12 million tonnes below 2008. -
NewsletterRice Market Monitor - February 2009
Trade and Markets Division
2009The 2008 paddy s eason is coming to a close with much more buoyant expectations over production thanpreviously anticipated. FAO’s latest prospects point to a level of world paddy production in 2008 of 683 million tonnes (456 million tonnes, milled rice equivalent), 23 million tonne, or 3.5 percent more than in 2007 and the fastest growth since 2005. The increase would be based on a 2.2 percent rise of the area to 159 million hectares, a positive reaction to high prices and to government support. -
NewsletterRice Market Monitor - September 2004 2004FAO forecast of global paddy production in 2004 has been lowered to 608 million tonnes, because of adverse weather conditions in several northern hemisphere countries. Estimated world production in the previous 2003 season was also revised downward, as several countries released new, less buoyant estimates of their 2003 crops. Following those changes, forecast production in 2004 still shows an increase of 4 percent, or 24 million tonnes, compared with 2003.
