Rice is a major staple food consumed globally, particularly in Asia.
According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) data, the global rice production trend has increased over the last 10 years, as shown in the graph.
Production even reached a record high of 520.8 million tons in the 2021/2022 period (until May 6, 2022), the highest in the last decade.
During the February 2021/2022 period, China was the world's largest rice producer with a production of 148.99 million tons. Its abundant rice production is commensurate with its very large population of approximately 1.4 billion people.
Meanwhile, Indonesia ranked fourth largest with rice production of 35.4 million tons.
The FAO also recorded that the global rice supply as of May 6, 2022, reached 711.3 million tons, consisting of production output plus initial stockpiles.
This supply amount increased by 1.14% from the 2020/2021 period, which totaled 703.3 million tons.
