Overview
Rice, the primary staple for more than half the world's
population, is produced worldwide. The United States is a major
exporter, and the global market accounts for nearly half the annual
sales volume of U.S.-produced rice. Four U.S. regions produce
almost all of the country's rice crop--three in the South and one
in California--each specializing in a specific type of rice. ERS
work on the rice market includes:
- Current and historical data on rice production, uses,
farm-level prices, and trade;
- Monthly market outlook reports on rice supply, output, prices,
and trade, including market prospects in major trading countries,
and information on the various types of U.S.-grown rice; and
- In-depth analyses of domestic and global developments affecting
the rice market, including supply, demand, and commodity and trade
policy.
