Resumen
Descripción
Global rice production remained more stable than maize and wheat production in recent years, while rice consumption continues to increase, albeit at a slower pace.
Rice production and consumption are projected to increase worldwide, with Asia to continue as the world’s leading source of rice through 2050.
Southeast Asia’s rice surplus will increase by 2040 by closing the exploitable yield gap by one-half.
The global rice sector will experience an increasing economic surplus with faster productivity growth and will contribute to a decline in the number of undernourished children and people at risk of hunger.
Demographic changes and rice trade policy reforms will be key drivers of rice demand and prices in different countries.
