NewsletterFAO Rice Market Monitor - December 2014 2014With the 2014 season fairly advanced, firmer crop estimates have been issued, which have resulted overall in a slight increase of 250 000 tonnes in the global paddy production forecast. At country level, prospects for the 2014 season output have improved since the October release of this report, particularly for China, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Nigeria, and Viet Nam. The higher figures more than compensated for a downgrading in India, hit by the cyclonic storm Hudhud , and in the Democra tic People's Republic of Korea and Thailand, which both endured severe precipitation shortfalls. Disruptions to agricultural activities caused by the Ebola outbreak also worsened prospects for Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. At 744.7 million tonnes (496.6 million tonnes, milled basis), the resulting 2014 global production forecast would be slightly (0.2 percent) lower than the 2013 level, reflecting a 0. 1 percent contraction of both plantings and yields to 162.9 million hectares and 4.57 tonn es per hectare , respectively brought about by unfavourable weather conditions.

NewsletterRice Market Monitor - March 2004 2004FAO first forecast of global paddy production in 2004 has been set at 613 million tonnes, 22 million larger than last season, and the highest level on record. The figure is highly tentative, since countries in the Northern Hemisphere still have to plant their main crops. So far, the outlook for the Southern Hemisphere countries, where harvesting is underway, is generally positive.
