In 2017, the total paddy rice output met 93% of the country's annual requirement. The population consumed 11.7 million tonnes of rice. [7] Historically, the per-hectare rice yields in the Philippines have generally been low in comparison with other Asian countries. [4]
Rice production by country (2019) This is a list of countries by rice production in 2022 based on the Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database. The total world rice production [1] for 2022 was 776,461,457 [2] metric tonnes. In 1961, the total world production was 216 million tonnes.
The Philippines was also the world's largest rice importer in 2010. [30] In 2010, nearly 15.7 million metric tons of palay (pre-husked rice) were produced. [31] In 2010, palay accounted for 21.86% percent of gross value added in agriculture and 2.37% of GNP. [32] Self-sufficiency in rice reached 88.93% in 2015. [33] Rice production in the ...
The Thai Ministry of Agriculture expected rice production to yield around 30 million tons of rice for 2008. [48] The most produced strain of rice in Thailand is jasmine rice, which has a significantly lower yield rate than other types of rice, but also normally fetches more than double the price of other strains in a global market. [47]
The average world yield for rice was 4.7 metric tons per hectare (2.1 short tons per acre), in 2022. [37] Yuan Longping of China's National Hybrid Rice Research and Development Center set a world record for rice yield in 1999 at 17.1 metric tons per hectare (7.6 short tons per acre) on a demonstration plot.
Through the "More Rice for Africa" initiative, SRI was implemented, resulting in significant yield increases. Farmers in the region achieved average yields of 8 tons per hectare, compared to the conventional average of 4 tons per hectare. [54]
In the 1960s, rice yields in India were about two tons per hectare; by the mid-1990s, they had risen to 6 tons per hectare. In the 1970s, rice cost about $550 a ton; in 2001, it cost under $200 a ton. [50] India became one of the world's most successful rice producers, and is now a major rice exporter, shipping nearly 4.5 million tons in 2006.
