Synopsis (short abstract) FAO’s forecast for global paddy output in 1998 has been revised downwards by 4 million tonnes to 557 million tonnes. This would be about 20 million tonnes, or approximately 3.5 percent lower than the previous year's revised record level. The downward adjustment is based on the preliminary assessment of the damage caused by floods in a number of rice producing Asian countries in the northern hemisphere.

    According to FAO’s latest forecast, global paddy output in 1998 could reach 567 million tonnes, only 4 million tonnes, or less than one percent lower than the previous year's revised record level. This forecast is still tentative and critically hinges on a timely and normal development of the Asian monsoon.

    FAO’s latest forecast for global paddy output in 1998 is 561 million tonnes, about 17 million tonnes, or about 3 percent lower than the previous year's revised record level. The reduction is largely attributed to flood-related problems in a number of major rice producing countries in Asia where preliminary indications suggest a high degree of damage in some countries. However, the final outcome will greatly depend on the impact of floods in the affected countries.

    In the Northern Hemisphere, harvesting of the 1999 main-season paddy crops is proceeding in a number of countries. Growing conditions have been generally favourable although flood-related problems have been reported. However, the damage to rice crops has been minor and relatively large harvests are expected in some countries.
