The Asia Pacific region is a significant producer of rice globally. Within the region, China is the leading producer of the paddy crop. The milled production of the paddy crop in China attained a volume of almost 116 million metric tons in the 2018-2019 period. Between 2019 and 2020, the production levels of rice are expected to witness a slight decline. India follows China as the other major producer in the region. India is a significant producer of the basmati variety, accounting for 70% of its production globally. The overall rice production in Asia, however, is expected to decelerate in the forecast period due to climatic fluctuations associated with the prevailing El Niño phenomenon. Even with the smaller output of the crop, Asian countries like Cambodia, China, India, and Viet Nam are expected to export more in the coming years. The United States of America is also expected to witness an overall increase in its exports in the coming years, with the total global rice trade projected to rebound by nearly 4.5% by 2020.

The United States of America is also a significant producer of the paddy crop. Between 2018 and 2019, the milled rice production in the United States reached an estimated volume of 7 million thousand tons. The production of the paddy crop in the country began in the southern states and spread to California during the Gold Rush when the country witnessed a massive influx of Chinese immigrant workers. Rice varieties like the Californian Calrose are exported in significant quantities to regions like Central America, the Caribbean, and the Middle East and Africa. The Middle East and African countries like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Libya, and Jordan were some of the largest export destinations of rice from the United States. The Middle East is a leading rice consumer, globally, accounting for 37.8% of its consumption. Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to be one of the fastest-growing consumers of the paddy crop, with the consumption in the region expected to expand by 22% by 2026. As the consumption of rice in the Middle East and Africa grows, the market for Calrose rice is also expected to witness a healthy growth in the coming years, especially with the rising health consciousness in the region and the variety’s incorporation in multiple local cuisines.
