Synopsis (short abstract) As the 2003 rice season is coming to an end, production estimates have become of greater certainty. The latest figures point to a 3 percent increase in global paddy production to 591 million tonnes in 2003 as a favourable monsoon should make output rebound in Asia. The recovery is mainly on account of India, which was affected by unfavourable weather in the preceding season. Increases are also anticipated in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Myanmar, Pakistan, the Philippines and Thailand. By contra st, output tended to stagnate in Indonesia and Vietnam and to fall in China, Japan and the Republic of Korea.
