| dc.description | Rice is the dominant staple food crop in developing countries, particularly for the humid tropics across the globe. Almost 90 percent of rice is produced and consumed in Asia, and 96 percent in developing countries. Rice production has increased faster than population over the last three decades, despite being produced on small and marginal and tenant farms in countries with extreme population pressure on limited land resources. Most of the growth in production originated from technological pro gress in the irrigated and the favorable rainfed ecosystems. The growth in rice consumption has started slowing down because of urbanization, increases in per capita income leading to diversification of the diet, high levels of rice consumption already reached in many countries, and progress in reducing population growth. But, the growth in rice supply has also slowed down because of the yield approaching economic optimum for the irrigated ecosystem, decline in relative profitability of ric e cultivation, increasing concerns regarding environmental protection, and limited progress in developing improved technologies for the unfavorable ecosystems. | |
