Abstract

The U.S. 2007/08 season-average farm price for rice is projected at $10.75-$11.25 per
hundredweight (cwt), the highest since 1980/81, primarily due strong prices for other
grains, and high global rice prices. Despite an area decline, the U.S. crop was up 2
percent from a year ago, a result of a record yield. Total supplies are projected to be up
slightly from a year ago, as a larger crop and another year of record imports more than
offset a smaller carryin. Total use of U.S. rice is projected to increase 6 percent in
2007/08, a result of higher exports. Ending stocks are forecast to decline 31 percent
from a year ago, resulting in a stocks-to-use ratio of less than 12 percent. Long-grain
accounts for all of the projected decline in ending stocks.
Although global production is projected to be the highest on record, global supplies are
projected to increase less than 1 percent in 2007/08. With disappearance exceeding
production by 3 million tons, global ending stocks are projected to decline 4 percent to
the lowest level since 1983/84. Global rice trade in 2008 is projected to be the largest on
record. Bangladesh is projected to import more rice in 2008 due to crop damage from
devastating cyclones in November. Global trading prices are currently the highest since
January 1997, and have risen sharply since August. In addition to strong prices for other
grains, export bans implemented this fall by Vietnam and Indiaboth major exporters
have contributed to higher trading prices.

Summary
U.S. 2007/08 Season-Average Farm Price
Projected Highest Since 1980/81
The 2007/08 U.S. season-average farm price (SAFP) is projected at $10.75-$11.25
per cwt, up from $9.74 a year earlier and the highest since 1980/81. This is the
third consecutive year of a higher U.S. SAFP for rice. The mid-October reported
cash price for rough-rice is the highest since September 1981. U.S. rough and
milled prices are being pushed higher by strong prices for other grains, rising world
rice prices, and the falling value of the dollar.
Price quotes for Thailands high-quality long-grain milled ricea benchmark for
global trading pricesare up more than 16 percent from a year earlier and 8 percent
higher than in August. The recent price strength in global markets has largely been
due to export bans invoked by Vietnam and India (non-basmati only), a stronger
baht, expectations of declining global stocks, and higher overall commodity prices.
For the week ending November 26, Thailands 100-percent grade B (FOB vessel,
Bangkok) was quoted at $361 per ton, the highest since January 1997. Thailands
prices would likely be higher if the Government of Thailand had not recently
released about a million tons of rice purchased in previous years under its
intervention program.
U.S. export prices have risen sharply since the start of the 2007/08 market year.
Price quotes for U.S. long-grain milled rice are up 24 percent since the beginning of
August. High prices for other grains and oilseeds, rising global rice prices, and a
weaker dollar are behind the recent rise in U.S. prices.

U.S. 2007/08 Average Field Yield

Projected at a Record 7,247 Pounds per Acre
The 2007/08 U.S. rough-rice crop is estimated at 197.9 million cwt, up 2 percent
from a year ago, but still 15 percent below the 2004/05 record. Medium/short-grain
accounts for all of the production increase. The long-grain crop is almost 3 percent
smaller than a year ago. California and Louisiana account for most of the 2007/08
increase in U.S. rice production.
This years larger rice crop is the result of a record yield. At 7,247 pounds per acre,
the 2007/08 average yield is almost 6 percent higher than a year ago. Yields are
higher in every reporting State except Texas, with record yields estimated for
Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri. In contrast, U.S. plantings
declined 3 percent to 2.75 million acres, a result of strong prices for competing
crops and very high fuel and fertilizer prices. Arkansas and Missouri account for
the bulk of the area decline.
Total U.S. rice supplies in 2007/08 are projected to be up slightly from a year
earlier, as the larger crop and record imports more than offset a smaller carryin. At
258.7 million cwt, total supplies are 1.4 million cwt above last year. Medium/shortgrain account for all of the supply increase. Long-grain supplies are projected to
decline 4 percent.

Rice Situation and Outlook Yearbook/RCS-2007/November 2007
Economic Research Service, USDA

At 39.3 million cwt, beginning stocks in 2007/08 are 9 percent below a year earlier,
with long-grain accounting for all of the decline. Imports are projected at a record
21.5 million cwt, up more than 4 percent from 2006/07, with both long- and
medium/short-grain imports the highest on record. Imports have more than doubled
over the last 10 years, and are growing as a share of the domestic market. Thailand
supplies more than 60 percent of all U.S. rice imports, with its high-quality jasmine
rice accounting for the bulk of sales to the United States.

U.S. Exports Projected To Increase 17 Percent;

Ending Stocks To Drop 31 Percent
Total exports of U.S. rice in 2007/08 are projected to increase 17 percent to 107.0
million cwt. Expanded global trade, tight supplies in other exporting countries, and
export bans by two major exporters are behind the stronger U.S. export forecast for
2007/08.
Milled-rice shipments (including brown rice) are projected to account for most of
the increase in U.S. exports. Rough-rice exports are projected to increase about 6
percent. Both long- and medium/short-grain U.S. exports are projected to be larger
in 2007/08, with long-grain accounting for the largest share of the increase.
Total domestic and residual use of rice is projected to decrease almost 2 percent in
2007/08 to 124.7 million cwt, still the second-highest on record. The residual
component includes unreported losses in processing, handling, and transporting, as
well as any statistical errors. The size of the residual can vary from year to year.
Total rice usedomestic and residual use plus exportsin 2007/08 is projected at
231.7 million cwt, up 6 percent from a year earlier.
U.S. ending stocks of all rice for 2007/08 are projected at 27.1 million cwt, down 31
percent from a year ago. The stocks-to-use ratio is calculated at 11.7 percent, down
from 18.0 percent a year ago. Both ending stocks and the stocks-to-use ratio are the
lowest since 2003/04. The ending stocks situation is projected especially tight for
long-grain rice.

Despite Record Global Production in 2007/08,

Global Stocks Are Projected To Be the Lowest Since 1983/84
World rice production is projected at a record 421.2 million tons (milled basis) in
2007/08, up less than 1 percent from a year ago. China accounts for the largest
share of the 2007/08 global production increase. In addition, Indonesia, Vietnam,
Brazil, Thailand, Japan, Argentina, the United States, and Uruguay are projected to
harvest larger crops in 2007/08. In contrast, India, Australia, North Korea, South
Korea, and Turkey are projected to harvest smaller crops.
This years larger global production is due to larger plantings; the average yield is
unchanged from a year earlier. Global yields have been nearly flat since late 1990s,
and growth rates achieved in the 1990s were much lower than those achieved in the
1970s and 1980s.

Rice Situation and Outlook Yearbook/RCS-2007/November 2007
Economic Research Service, USDA

Despite record global production, global rice supplies are projected to increase less
than 1 percent in 2007/08, to 498.4 million tons, the second consecutive year of
fractional growth in global rice supplies. Global supplies remain 9 percent below
the 2001/02 record of 546.6 million tons. A steady decline in carryin and only
modest production growth are behind the decline in global supplies since 2001/02.
Global rice disappearance is projected at a record 424.2 million tons, an increase of
more than 1 percent from a year earlier. China, India, Indonesia, the Philippines,
and Bangladesh account for most of the expected increase in global rice
disappearance. Global ending stocks for 2007/08 are projected at 74.1 million tons,
4 percent below a year earlier and the smallest since 1983/84. The global stocks-touse ratio is calculated at 17.5 percent, the smallest since 1976/77. Global stocks are
down almost 50 percent since the 2000/01 record of 147.3 million tons. China
accounts for most of the decline in global ending stocks since 2000/01.

Global Rice Trade in 2008 Projected To Be the Highest on Record

Global rice trade in 2008 is projected at 29.6 million tons, up 3 percent from a year
earlier and the highest on record. South Asia, East Asia, the Middle East, SubSaharan Africa, and Oceania are all projected to increase imports in 2008. In
contrast, Southeast Asia is projected to import less rice in 2008. Imports by Latin
America are projected to be virtually unchanged from 2007.
By country, Iraq, Bangladesh, Australia, Afghanistan, Cuba, China, and the
Philippines are all projected to increase imports by 100,000 tons or more in 2008.
The increases will partially be offset by weaker imports by Iran, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Turkey, and Haiti. Imports are projected to be unchanged in 2008 for
Nigeria, Cote dIvoire, and Senegal, all major buyers in Sub-Saharan Africa.
On the export side, Thailand, Vietnam, and China account for most of the expected
increase in global exports in 2008. In addition, Uruguay, Egypt, and the United
States are expected to export more rice in 2008. In contrast, India, Australia, and
Guyana are projected to reduce exports in 2008, with Australias shipments the
lowest since 1962. Exports by Cambodia are projected to remain at the 2006 nearrecord high. Argentinas exports are projected to be unchanged in 2008 as well.

U.S. Outlook for 2007/08

Average Field Yield Highest on Record, Plantings Down 3 Percent

Total U.S. rice supplies in 2007/08 are projected to be up slightly from a year
earlier, as a larger crop and record imports more than offset a smaller carryin. At
258.7 million cwt, total supplies are 1.4 million cwt above last year, but still 7
percent below the 2005/06 record. Despite smaller area, total rice production of
197.9 million cwt is 2 percent larger than a year earlier, a result of a record yield.
At 39.3 million cwt, beginning stocks are 9 percent below a year earlier. Imports
are projected at a record 21.5 million cwt, up more than 4 percent from 2006/07.
Imports have risen sharply over the last 2 decades. Medium/short-grain accounts
for all of the 2007/08 supply increase. Long-grain supplies are projected to decline
4 percent.

U.S. 2007/08 Rice Production Estimated

at 197.9 Million Cwt, up 2 Percent
The 2007/08 (August-July) U.S. rough-rice crop is estimated at 197.9 million cwt,
up 2 percent from a year ago, but still 15 percent below the 2004/05 record. This
years larger crop is the result of a record yield. At 7,247 pounds per acre, the
2007/08 average yield is almost 6 percent higher than a year ago. In contrast,
plantings declined 3 percent to 2.75 million acres.

Medium/short-grain accounts for all of the 2007/08 production increase. At 55.3

million cwt, medium/short-grain production is up 16 percent from a year ago. The
bulk of the U.S. medium/short-grain crop is grown in California. In contrast, longgrain production declined almost 3 percent to 142.6 million cwt. Virtually all U.S.
long-grain rice is grown in the South.
In 2007/08, rice acreage declined in all reporting States except Louisianawhere
plantings increasedand Mississippi, where plantings were unchanged from a year
ago. This is the second consecutive year of declining U.S. rice acreage. Very
strong prices for competing crops, as well as another year of high fuel and fertilizer
prices, are behind this years decline in rice acreage. In addition, tight seed supplies
caused by the loss of 2 widely-planted varieties and potential risks of marketing the
2007 long-grain crop may have discouraged some southern producers from planting
rice last spring. Tight seed supplies and potential marketing risks resulted from the
discovery of trace amounts of genetically-enhanced material in certain 2006 longgrain varieties.
Arkansas and Missouri account for the bulk of the decline in U.S. rice acreage.
Rice plantings in Arkansas decreased 5 percent to 1.33 million acres, the lowest
since 1996/97. Missouris plantings are estimated at 180,000 acres, a 17-percent
drop from a year earlier and the lowest since 2003/04. Texas rice plantings dropped
3 percent to 146,000 acres, the lowest since the 1930s. California plantings dropped
fractionally to 523,000 acres, despite near-record-high prices for medium-grain rice,
the bulk of California production. In contrast, in Louisiana rice plantings increased
28 percent to 378,000 acres. Plantings in 2006/07 in Louisiana were partially
constrained by saltwater intrusion caused by two severe hurricanes in 2005. At
190,000 acres, rice plantings in Mississippi were unchanged from a year ago.

U.S. Average Field Yield Is Estimated at a Record 7,247 Pounds per Acre
In early November, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) forecast an average field yield for 2007/08 of
7,247 pounds per acre, up almost 6 percent from a year ago. Yields are higher in
every reporting State except Texas, with record yields estimated for Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri. This year, most growing regions experienced
generally favorable weather during critical growing months.
Californias rice yield increased 9 percent to 8,350 pounds per acre in 2007/08. In
both 2005/06 and 2006/07, California experienced abnormally cool, wet springs that
hindered yields. Louisianas average yield increased 7 percent to a record 6,250
pounds per acre. In Missouri, the average yield increased 6 percent to 6,800 pounds
per acre, equaling the 2004/05 record. The Arkansas rice yield increased 5 percent
to a record 7,200 pounds per acre. In Mississippi, average yields increased 5
percent to a record 7,350 pounds per acre. In contrast, the Texas yield dropped
nearly 7 percent to 6,700 pounds per acre. The Texas rice-growing region
experienced excessive rainfall in the spring.
California and Louisiana account for most of the 2007/08 U.S. production increase.
At 43.4 million cwt, rice production in California is 8 percent larger than a year
earlier, a result of a much higher yield. Despite this years increase, the California
crop is 14 percent smaller than the 2004/05 record. The Louisiana crop is estimated
at 23.3 million cwt, up 16 percent from a year ago, but still 25 percent smaller than
the 2005/06 record. Rice production in Mississippi is estimated at 13.9 million cwt,
up 5 percent from a year ago due to a higher yield.

Rice production declined in the remaining rice-growing States. The Missouri crop
declined 12 percent to 12.1 million cwt, a result of smaller plantings. The Texas
rice crop of 9.8-million cwt is 9 percent smaller than a year ago, mostly due to a
weaker yield. This is the smallest rice crop in Texas since 1947. In Arkansas, the
largest U.S. rice-growing State, production dropped 0.5 million cwt to 95.4 million
cwt, a result of smaller plantings. This is the smallest rice crop in Arkansas since
2000/01.

Total U.S. Rice Supplies in 2007/08 Are Projected

at 258.7 Million Cwt, up Slightly from a Year ago
Total U.S. rice supplies in 2007/08 are projected at 258.7 million cwt, up less than 1
percent from a year ago. Despite this years increase, total supplies are still 7
percent below the 2005/06 record. In 2007/08, a larger crop and record imports
more than offset a smaller carryin. By class, long-grain supplies are projected to
decline 4 percent to 186.2 million cwt; combined medium/short-grain supplies are
projected to increase 13 percent to 71.8 million cwt.
Based on data from NASS in the August 2007 Rice Stocks, beginning stocks of all
rice for 2007/08 are calculated at 39.3 million cwt, down almost 9 percent from a
year earlier, with long-grain accounting for all of the decline. Beginning stocks of
all rice were smaller in all reported States except Arkansas, where beginning stocks
were up 2 percent from a year earlier. Texas and Louisiana accounted for most of
the decline in beginning stocks. By class, long-grain beginning stocks are estimated
at 28.5 million cwt, a drop of 13 percent from a year earlier. In contrast, combined
medium/short-grain beginning stocks of 10.0 million cwt are 6 percent larger than a
year earlier.

U.S. rice imports for 2007/08 are projected at a record 21.5 million cwt, up more
than 4 percent from a year earlier, with both long- and combined medium/shortgrain imports projected to be the highest on record. Long-grain imports are
projected at 15.0 million cwt, an increase of 5 percent from a year earlier. Thailand
is the largest supplier of rice to the United States, accounting for 75-80 percent of
U.S. long-grain imports. Jasmine riceThailands high-quality fragrant rice
accounts for nearly all of the long-grain rice imported by the United States from
Thailand. These imports increase almost every year. India and Pakistan supply
most of the remainder of U.S. long-grain imports, shipping mostly high-quality
basmati rice. Like the Thai jasmine rice, imports of basmati rice typically increase
each year. The United States does not currently grow aromatic varieties of the same
quality as those produced in Asia.
Combined medium/short-grain imports in 2007/08 are projected at a record 6.5
million cwt, an increase of 3 percent from a year earlier. Thailand currently ships
60,000-70,000 tons (2.00-2.25 million cwt on a rough-rice basis) of specialty rice to
the United States that is classified by the U.S. Census Bureau as medium- or shortgrain. Nearly all the rest of U.S. medium/short-grain imports are purchases by
Puerto Rico. China supplies most of the rice imported by Puerto Rico, with Egypt
also supplying some. Prior to 2000/01, Puerto Rico was largely a California
market. Lower prices from other sources and higher U.S. suppliers in this market.
The Jones Act requires require all commercial vessels transporting merchandise
between ports in the United States to be build, owned, operated, and staffed by U.S.
citizens and to be registered under the U.S. flag. Freight rates are typically higher
on U.S. flagged vessels than for vessels operated by many other countries. Italy
supplies a few-thousand tons of Arorio rice to the United States each year.

U.S. Rice Exports Are Projected To Increase 17 Percent in 2007/08

Total use of U.S. rice in 2007/08 is projected at 231.7 million cwt, up 6 percent
from a year ago. Exports account for all of the year-to-year increase in total use.
Total exports of U.S. rice in 2007/08 are projected at 107.0 million cwt, up 17
percent from a year ago. Milled rice shipments account for the bulk of the projected
increase in U.S. exports. Both long and medium/short-grain exports are projected
to increase in 2007/08. Total domestic and residual disappearance is projected at
a near-record 124.6 million cwt, down slightly from a year earlier. Ending stocks
of all rice are projected at 27.1 million cwt, a decline of 31 percent from a year
earlier. Long-grain accounts for all of the expected decline in U.S. ending stocks.

Total Use of U.S. Rice in 2007/08 Is Projected To Increase 6 Percent

Total rice use in 2007/08domestic and residual use, plus exportsis projected at
231.7 million cwt, up 6 percent from a year earlier, but still 3 percent below the
2002/03 record. Exports account for all of the expected increase in total use in
2007/08. Total exports of U.S. rice are projected to increase 17 percent to 107.0
million cwt, still 14 percent below the 2002/03 record. Expanded global trade, tight
supplies in other exporting countries, export bans recently invoked by two major
exporters, and slightly larger U.S. supplies are behind the stronger export forecast
for 2007/08. Milled-rice shipments (including brown rice) are projected to account
for most of the increase in U.S. exports. By class, both long- and medium/shortgrain U.S. exports are projected to be larger in 2007/08, with long-grain accounting
for the largest share of the increase.

Milled-rice exports are projected at 73.0 million cwt, up 23 percent from a year
earlier but 10 percent below 2005/06. Expectations of larger shipments to the
Middle East, Oceania, and the Philippines (all sold under the PL 480 Title I
Program) account for the higher U.S. milled-rice export forecast. Rough-rice
exports are projected at 34.0 million cwt, up 6 percent from a year ago. Mexico and
Central America account for the bulk of U.S. rough-rice exports, with the United
States supplying almost all rice imported by these two markets. None of the major
Asian rice-exporting countries allow rough-rice exports, preferring to capture the
value-added from milling the rice.
By class, long-grain exports are projected at 84.0 million cwt, up 16 percent from a
year ago. Expanded shipments to Mexico, Central America, the Middle East, the
Philippines, and the Caribbean are behind the stronger long-grain export forecast.
Current export bans by Vietnam and India (non-basmati rice only) will likely
support stronger U.S. sales to some regions, primarily the Middle East, early in
2008. In addition, U.S. 2007/08 long-grain rice exports are boosted by a delayed
fiscal year 2007 Pl 480 Title I sale to the Philippines of 44,100 tons that was
purchased in October 2007. The original tender was held in September, but resulted
in a re-tender.
Also, some recovery in U.S. sales to the EU-27once a major market for U.S.
long-grain riceis expected. In 2006/07, this 250,000-300,000-ton annual U.S.
market dropped sharply due to the discovery of trace amounts of genetically
enhanced rice in some U.S. supplies of long-grain rice. Through late-November,
U.S. sales to the EU-27 were slightly ahead of a year earlier.

Medium/short-grain exports are projected at 23.0 million cwt, up 23 percent from a

year earlier. Expanded sales to Oceaniahistorically an Australian market
account for much of the expected increase in U.S. exports. Sales to South Korea
all part of South Koreas World Trade Organization (WTO) commitmentsand
shipments to some smaller markets in the Eastern Mediterranean are likely to be
larger as well.
Total domestic and residual use of rice is projected to decrease almost 2 percent in
2007/08 to 124.7 million cwt, still the second-highest on record. Long-grain
accounts for all of the expected decline. At 89.0 million cwt, long-grain domestic
disappearance is projected to be 3 percent below the year-earlier record. In
contrast, combined medium/short-grain domestic disappearance is projected to
increase almost 3 percent to 35.7 million cwt. The U.S. disappearance term
includes a substantial residual component that is impossible to estimate and can
vary substantially from year to year. The residual term includes unreported losses
in processing, marketing, and transportation, as well as any statistical errors in other
components of U.S. supply and use tables.

U.S. 2007/08 Ending Stocks Are Projected

To Decline 31 Percent to 27.1 Million Cwt
U.S. ending stocks of all rice for 2007/08 are projected at 27.1 million cwt, down 31
percent from a year ago. A 6-percent increase in total use is projected to more than
offset slightly larger total supplies. The resulting stocks-to-use ratio is calculated at
11.7 percent, down from 18.0 percent a year ago. Both ending stocks and the
stocks-to-use ratio are the lowest since 2003/04. The ending stocks situation differs
by class of rice.

15
Rice Situation and Outlook Yearbook/RCS-2007/November 2007
Economic Research Service, USDA

Long-grain accounts for all of the decline in U.S. ending stocks in 2007/08. Longgrain ending stocks are projected to decline 54 percent to 13.2 million cwt. A 6percent contraction in long-grain supplies, combined with a 5-percent increase in
long-grain use, accounts for the substantial decline in long-grain ending stocks. The
long-grain stocks-to-use ratio is calculated at 7.6 percent, down from 17.3 percent a
year ago. Both the long-grain ending stocks and the stocks-to-use ratio are the
lowest since 2003/04.
For medium/short-grain rice, ending stocks for 2007/08 are projected at 13.2
million cwt, up 31 percent from a year ago and the highest since 2004/05. A 13percent increase in total supplies is expected to more than offset a 10-percent
increase in medium/short-grain use. The resulting medium/short-grain stocks-touse ratio is 22.4 percent, up from 18.8 percent a year ago and the highest since
2003/04.

U.S. 2007/08 Average Farm Price Projected Highest Since 1980/81

The U.S. season-average farm price (SAFP) for 2007/08 is projected at $10.75$11.25 per cwt, up from $9.74 a year earlier and the highest since 1980/81.
Expectations of a substantially higher U.S. SAFP in 2007/08 are largely due to very
high prices for other grains and stronger global rice prices. This is the third
consecutive year of a higher U.S. SAFP for rice. Price quotes for U.S. long grain
rough rice have risen in every producing region since the start of the 2007/08
market year in August. Price quotes for California medium/short-grain rice
continue to increase from already high levels in 2006/07. Total U.S. food aid
purchases (including a Title I sale) in fiscal 2007 are estimated at 136,400 tons, up
from 96,100 tons a year earlier.

U.S. 2007/08 Season-Average Farm Price

Is Projected To Be the Highest Since 1980/81
The 2007/08 U.S. season-average farm price (SAFP) is projected at $10.75-$11.25
per cwt, up from $9.74 a year earlier and the highest since $12.80 in 1980/81. The
higher U.S. SAFP in 2007/08 is primarily due to strong prices for other grains and
higher global trading prices for rice. This is the third consecutive year of a higher
U.S. SAFP for rice.

The mid-October reported cash price of $10.70 per cwt was up 40 cents from the
September average and $1.05 higher than a year earlier. The October mid-month
price is the highest reported monthly cash price since September 1981. Average
U.S. monthly reported cash prices for rough rice have been higher than a year
earlier since November 2005. In addition, prices have increased each month since
July.
Price quotes for U.S. long-grain rough rice have risen in every producing region
since the start of the 2007/08 market year on August 1. Based on data from the
weekly Creed Rice Market Report, average price quotes from mills for long-grain
rough rice in the Deltawhich produces the largest share of the U.S. long-grain
cropincreased from about $9.00 per cwt at the start of the 2007/08 market year to
around $11.50 for the week ending November 27. In Southwest Louisiana, longgrain rough rice prices were also quoted at $11.50 for the week ending November
27, up from $10.00 in early August. In Texas, long-grain rough-rice prices were
quoted around $11.70 per cwt for the week ending November 27, up from around
$10.50 in early August. For all three long-grain producing regions, these are the
highest weekly price quotes reported by the Creed Rice Market Report since early
1994 when Japan began its emergency purchases due to a small harvest in 1993.
California medium-grain rough-rice prices for the week ending November 27 were
quoted at $13.34 per cwt, up from about $12.00 in late July. Like the southern
long-grain prices, these are the highest reported weekly prices for California
medium-grain rough rice reported in the Creed Rice Market Report since early
1994. California prices are being supported by extremely tight supplies in
Australia, a result of severe drought. Australia had been a major competitor of
California in the global medium/short-grain market. However, Australia has had
severe drought in 4 of the last 5 years and is currently exporting very little rice.
In the Delta, where most of the southern medium-grain crop is produced, price
quotes for medium-grain rough rice were reported at $11.33 per cwt for the week
ending November 27, up about 20 cents from early August and the highest ever
reported by Creed. The high southern medium-grain prices are primarily due to
strong California prices and only a modest increase in southern medium-grain
acreage in 2007/08.
California medium-grain prices are typically higher than southern medium-grain
prices. Most southern medium-grain rice is used in processed products in the
United States. Some processors will substitute southern medium-grain for
California medium-grain if the price difference is wide enough. On occasion, some
Middle Eastern markets have taken southern medium-grain rice if California prices
are too high.
U.S. producers are eligible for marketing loan benefits when foreign prices
(represented by USDAs weekly adjusted world price) fall below the loan rate for
rough rice. Loan rates vary by class of ricelong, medium, and short-grainwith
an all-rice average loan rate fixed at $6.50 per cwt. The adjusted world price is also
reported by class. The payment rate by class is the difference between the adjusted

18
Rice Situation and Outlook Yearbook/RCS-2007/November 2007

world price (reported by USDA every Wednesday morning) and the loan rate.
Since mid-May 2006, the adjusted world price for long-grain rice has remained
above the loan rate each week, making U.S. long-grain producers ineligible for
marketing loan benefits. The adjusted world price has exceeded the loan rate for
medium- and short-grain rice since mid-January 2006.

The U.S. Donated 92,000-96,000 Tons of Rice in FY 2006 and FY 2007

Total U.S. food aid purchases of rice for donation in fiscal 2007 (October 2006 to
September 2007) are estimated at 92,000 tons, down about 4,000 tons from a year
earlier. In addition, U.S. exporters sold 44,100 tons of rice under Title I of the PL
480 Program to the Philippines in October 2007 that was authorized in fiscal 2007.
Unlike donations, Title I provides for the sales of U.S. agriculture commodities on
concessional credit terms to governments and private entities in developing
countries. In both the text and tables of this report, U.S. food aid donations are
assigned appropriate October-September fiscal years based on the month in which
invitations for commodity offers are announced. Shipment dates do not necessarily
fall within the same fiscal year in which the rice was purchased.
Food aid purchases (including Title I concessional sales) accounted for 4.1 percent
of total U.S. rice exports in fiscal 2007, up from 2.4 percent a year earlier. In fiscal
2006, total U.S. food aid purchases for donation totaled around 96,000 tons, down
36 percent from a year earlier. There were no Title I concessional sales for rice in
fiscal 2006.
U.S. rice is shipped under four food aid programs: PL 480 (Title I and Title II),
Section 416(b) surplus removal, Food for Progress, and Food for Education. In
fiscal 2007, there was only one sale under PL 480 Title I, a 44,100-ton sale to the
Philippines. The sale did not occur until October 2007 due to a re-tendering of the
original September 2007 tender.
Total purchases under PL 480 Title II, or food donations, totaled 53,000 tons in
fiscal 2007, almost unchanged from fiscal 2006. In addition, almost 11,000 tons of
rice was purchased in fiscal 2007 under the Food for Progress program, down from
about 28,000 tons in fiscal 2006. Purchases under the Food for Education program
totaled about 28,500 tons in fiscal 2007, up from almost 15,500 tons a year earlier.
There have been no Section 416(b) allocations or purchases since fiscal 2002.

International Outlook for 2007/08

Global Ending Stocks Projected To Drop, Despite a Record Crop

Global rice production is projected to increase less than 1 percent in 2007/08 to a
record 421.2 million tons, a result of larger planted area. China, Indonesia,
Vietnam, and Brazil account for the bulk of the projected increase in 2007/08
production. Total rice supplies in 2007/08 (carryin plus production) are forecast at
498.4 million tons, up less than 1 percent from a year ago. Despite the increase,
total supplies are 9 percent below the 2001/02 record. The decline in global
supplies since 2001/02 has largely been due to a steady decrease in carryin, and
only modest production increases. Global rice disappearance is projected at a
record 421.2 million tons, an increase of almost 1 percent from a year earlier.
China, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Bangladesh account for most of the
expected increase in global rice disappearance. Global ending stocks for 2007/08
are projected at 74.1 million tons, 4 percent below a year earlier and the smallest
since 1983/84. Thailand, China, Indonesia, the Philippines, and the United States
account for most of the expected decline in ending stocks. Through November 27,
global trading prices were up 16 percent from a year earlier, the highest since
January 1997. High prices for other grains and oilseeds, and the tightening global
stocks situation are behind the rise in global prices over the past year. The U.S.
price difference over comparable grades of Thailands rice was almost $140 per
ton for the week ending November 27, up from $71 at the start of the 2007/08
market year on August 1.

Larger Area Boosts Global Production to Highest on Record;

Average Yield Remains Flat
World rice production is projected at a record 421.2 million tons (milled basis) in
2007/08, up less than 1 percent from a year ago. Global production was unchanged
from a year earlier in 2006/07. China accounts for the largest share of the 2007/08
global production increase. Indonesia, Vietnam, Brazil, Thailand, Japan, Argentina,
the United States, and Uruguay are projected to harvest larger crops in 2007/08 as
well. In contrast, India, Australia, North Korea, South Korea, and Turkey are
projected to harvest smaller crops in 2007/08.
Despite record global production and little change in carryin, global rice supplies
are projected to increase less than 1 percent in 2007/08 to 498.4 million tons, the
second consecutive year of fractional growth in global rice supplies. In addition,
global supplies remain 9 percent below the 2001/02 record of 546.6 million tons. A
steady decline in carryin, plus only modest production growth are responsible for
the decline in global supplies since 2001/02.
Global rice area is projected at 153.7 million hectares, up 0.8 million from a year
earlier, and the second highest record. In 2007/08, larger plantings in China,
Indonesia, Nigeria, Cambodia, Thailand, and Uruguay are projected to more than

offset smaller plantings in the United States, Australia, Japan, Pakistan, and Sri
Lanka. Despite this years increase in rice area, plantings remain below the
1999/2000 record of 155.3 million hectares. Global rice area is unlikely to surpass
the 1999/2000 record in the foreseeable future due to a lack of additional land
suitable for rice production (abundant water, a level surface for easy irrigation and
drainage, a hard-pan sub-surface to slow percolation, proper salinity), competition
for land from other crops and urban interests, as well as ecological concerns
associated with intensive rice production.
At 4.1 tons per hectare, the average global rough-rice yield is unchanged from
2006/07 and 2005/06. In fact, global yields have been nearly flat since the late
1990s, and growth rates achieved in the 1990s were much lower than those in the
1970s and 1980s. Yield growth has stagnated largely due to the lack of new varietal
development and the near total adoption of the modern high-yielding varieties on
the most favorable ecosystems (primarily the irrigated low-lands).

China Accounts for the Bulk of the

2007/08 Projected Global Production Increase
China, the worlds largest rice-producing country, accounts for the bulk of the
2007/08 global production increase, with rice production projected at 129.5 million
tons (milled basis), up more than 1 percent from a year ago. Despite this years
increase, Chinas production remains well below the record 140.5 million tons
produced in 1997/98. The larger crop is primarily due to expanded area; the yield
is projected unchanged from a year earlier. Chinas rice yields have been nearly flat
for the past decade.

Among the top six exportersThailand, Vietnam, the United States, India,
Pakistan, and Chinaall except India are projected to produce larger crops in
2007/08. Thailandthe worlds largest rice-exporting countryis projected to
increase production less than 1 percent to a record 18.4 million tons due to larger
plantings. The average yield is unchanged. Vietnamthe second-largest rice
exporting countryis also expected to achieve record production in 2007/8. At
23.3 million tons, Vietnams 2007/08 production is almost 2 percent larger than a
year earlier, primarily due to a record average yield.
Pakistans 2007/08 crop is forecast at 5.3 million tons, up fractionally from a year
earlier, a result of a higher yield. Plantings are actually down. Despite this years
increase, Pakistans crop is 4 percent smaller than the 2005/06 record. The U.S.
2007/08 crop is estimated at 6.3 million tons, up more than1 percent from a year
ago, a result of a record yield. U.S. plantings were actually down 3 percent in
20007/08. In contrast, India is projected to harvest 92.0 million tons of rice in
2007/08, only fractionally below a year earlier, a result of a slightly lower yield.
The southern and eastern rice growing regions of India received excessive rain this
year.
Among the smaller exporters, Argentina, Uruguay, Burma, and Cambodia are
projected to harvest larger crops in 2007/08. Little change in production is
projected for the EU-27, Guyana, and Egypt. In contrast, Australia is projected to
harvest just 36,000 tons of rice in 2007/08, the smallest crop in more than 50 years.
Both area and yield are down from a year ago, a result of severe drought. Australia
is projected to export very little rice in 2008.
Several major importers are projected to harvest larger crops in 2007/08. Brazil,
Indonesia, Nigeria, Japan, and Iran are all projected to increase production by at
least 2 percent in 2007/08. Indonesiathe worlds third-largest rice-growing
countryis projected to harvest 34.0 million tons in 2007/08, up 0.7 million from a
year ago, a result of expanded area. Indonesias production remains below the
2003/04 record of 35.0 million tons. Brazil, the largest rice producer outside Asia,
is expected to harvest nearly 8.0 million tons of rice in 2007/08, up almost 0.3
million from a year ago, mostly due to a higher yield. Both Nigeria and Iran have
harvested record crops for several consecutive years. Both governments are trying
to reduce dependence on imports.
Other importers are projected to harvest smaller crops in 2007/08. Excessive
rainfall reduced rice production in both North and South Korea this year. Turkey is
expected to harvest 360,000 tons of rice in 2007/08, about 11 percent less than a
year ago, a result of slightly smaller area and a much lower yield. Parts of Turkey
experienced drought this year. The Philippines, one of the worlds largest rice
importing countries, is projected to harvest 10.0 million tons in 2007/08, just
fractionally below the year-earlier record. Bangladeshs production is projected at
29.0 million tons in 2007/08, unchanged from the earlier record. Since the
November forecasts were released, Bangladesh has received excessive rains and
experienced severe flooding due to powerful cyclones. The production forecast for
Bangladesh will be re-evaluated in December.

Global Ending Stocks in 2007/08 Are Projected

To Be the Smallest Since 1983/84
World rice domestic disappearanceconsumption plus a residual component that
represents unaccounted losses and any statistical errorsis projected at a record
424.2 million tons in 2007/08, up more than 1 percent from a year ago. China and
India account for the largest share of the projected increase in domestic
disappearance in 2007/98. In addition, domestic disappearance is projected to be
higher in Indonesia, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Burma, Nigeria, Iran, and Egypt.
In contrast, domestic disappearance of rice is projected to decline in Japan, South
Korea, and Taiwana long-term trend in all three countries, a result of incomedriven diet diversification.
With domestic disappearance exceeding production in 2007/08 by 3.1 million tons,
global rice-ending stocks are projected to drop 4 percent to 74.1 million tons, the
smallest since 1983/84. China, Indonesia, and United States account for the largest
share of the projected decline in global ending stocks. Ending stocks are also
projected to decline in India, the Philippines, and Thailand.
The global stocks-to-use ratio is calculated at 17.5 percent, down from 18.5 percent
a year earlier and the smallest since 1976/77. Global stocks are down almost 50
percent since the 2000/01 record of 147.3 million tons. China accounts for most of
the decline in global ending stocks since 2000/01. Chinas ending stocks have
declined from an estimated record 97.4 million tons in 1999/2000, to 35.6 million
forecast in 20007/08. Much of this decline was due to a government policy
designed to reduce stocks from excessive levels. USDAs stock estimates for China
include only that portion of total rice supplies likely to enter commercial channels.
Components include rice held by the government, inventories in the commercial
sector, and a portion of the grain that Chinas farmers store for their own use.

International Price Quotes for High-Quality

Long-Grain Milled Rice Are up 16 Percent from a Year Earlier
For the week ending November 27, global price quotes for high-quality long-grain
milled rice were up more than 16 percent from a year earlier. Global prices have
been rising for about 6 years, mostly due to the decline in global rice stocks and
stronger demand. The recent price strength has largely been due to export bans
invoked this fall by Vietnam and India (non-basmati only), a stronger baht, and
higher overall commodity prices.
For the week ending November 27, Thailands 100-percent grade B (FOB vessel,
Bangkok) was quoted at $361 per ton, up 8 percent from late July. Thailands
prices would likely be higher if the government had not recently released about a
million tons of rice purchased under its intervention program, implemented for the
2004/05-2006/07 crops. Despite the release of intervention stocks, Thailands
prices are the highest since January 1997, about 6 months prior to the devaluation of
the Thai currency and the beginning of the Asian financial crisis.
In mid-September, the Government of Vietnam announced a ban on new sales of
rice because exporters were overcommitted. Vietnam is expected to begin making
new sales when the harvest of its main winter-spring crop begins in March.
Similarly, India announced a minimum export price for rice, which effectively
eliminates virtually all exports except for high-quality basmati rice. India is
expected to resume exports of non-basmati rice in the first half of 2008. The ban on
rice was invoked to ensure adequate rice availability in the domestic market and to
rebuild stocks.
U.S. export prices have risen sharply since the start of the 2007/08 market year,
primarily due to high prices for other grains and higher global rice prices. Price
quotes for U.S. long-grain milled riceNo. 2, 4-percent brokens, (FAS vessel, U.S.
Gulf port)were reported at $485 per ton for the week ending November 27, up 24
percent since the beginning of August. These are the highest price quotes for U.S.
long-grain rice since early 1994, when Japan made its substantial emergency
imports due to a very weak 1993 harvest. After increasing the U.S. free alongside
vessel (FAS) price to reflect an FOB price, the U.S. price difference over
comparable grades of Thailands rice was $139 per ton for the week ending
November 27, up from about $65 at the start of August. The current difference is
75 percent larger than the 1998-2007 average.
Price quotes for California milled rice continue to increase, despite a larger
California crop and expectation of a larger carryout in 2007/08. A major factor
boosting California prices is the expectation of a very small Australian harvest in
April and May 2008 that will sharply reduce Australias exports. In fact, Australia
is projected to be a net importer of rice in 2008. Australia has historically been a
major competitor of the United States in the global medium/short-grain market,

share of the Northeast Asian WTO purchases. For the week ending November 27,

Global Rice Trade Is Projected To Be the Highest on Record in 2008

Global rice trade in 2008 is projected at 29.6 million tons, up 3 percent from a year
earlier and the highest on record. Asia, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, and
Oceania are all projected to increase imports in 2008, as production has not kept
pace with consumption growth. Iraq, Bangladesh, Australia, Afghanistan, Cuba,
China, and the Philippines are all projected to increase imports by 100,000 tons or
more in 2008. The increases will be partially offset by weaker imports by Iran,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, and Haiti. On the export side, Thailand, Vietnam,
and China account for most of the expected increase in global exports. In contrast,
India and Australia are projected to reduce exports in 2008.

Asia, Middle East, Oceania, and Sub-Saharan Africa

Are Projected To Increase Imports in 2008
By region, South Asia accounts for the largest share of the 0.9 million-ton increase
in global imports in 2008. Imports by South Asia are projected at nearly 1.2 million
tons in 2008, up 28 percent from a year earlier. Bangladesh, the largest importer in
the region, is projected to increase imports 150,000 tons to 800,000 tons, a result of
tight supplies and production concerns. The 2007/08 the Aus rice crop (planted in
March and April) was affected by floods during the harvesting season, while the
next cropthe Aman cropwas affected by repeated floods during planting in July
and August. Bangladeshs third cropits high-yielding Boro cropis not planted
until December-January. In addition, Afghanistan is projected to increase imports
100,000 tons to 250,000 tons due to declining supplies.

In East Asia, imports are projected to increase 215,000 tons to 2.55 million tons.
Chinas imports are projected to increase 100,000 tons to 700,000, with Thailands
jasmine rice accounting for most of the increase. Japans imports are projected at
700,000 tons, up 50,000 from 2007, a result of the timing of Japans WTO imports.
Taiwans imports are projected to increase 65,000 tons to 166,000, also based on
the timing of its WTO purchases. South Koreas imports are forecast at 265,000
tons in 2008, unchanged from this year. All imports by Japan, South Korea, and
Taiwan are purchased under WTO commitments. North Koreas rice imports in
2008 are projected at 400,000 tons, unchanged from 2007. All of North Koreas
rice imports are donations.
Southeast Asia is second only to Sub-Saharan Africa as a rice-importing region. In
2008, Southeast Asia is projected to import 5.3 million tons of rice, down 300,000
from this year. Indonesia accounts for most of the declineat 1.6 million tons,
Indonesias imports are 300,000 tons below this year. Malaysias imports are
projected to drop 100,000 tons to 700,000 in 2008. In contrast, the Philippines are
projected to increase imports 100,000 tons to 1.9 million due to rising demand and a
slightly smaller crop.
Sub-Saharan Africa, the largest rice-importing region in the world, is projected to
import 7.64 million tons in 2008, up less than 2 percent from a year earlier.
Nigerias imports are projected to remain at 1.7 million tons, South Africas to
increase 50,000 tons to a near-record 950,000, Senegals to remain at 800,000 tons,
Cote DIvoires to remain at 750,000 tons, and Ghanas to remain at 450,000 tons.
These are the top buyers in the region. Record production in the region and high
global trading prices are behind the small increase in rice imports projected for SubSaharan Africa.

The Middle East is typically the third-largest global market for rice. The Middle
East is projected to increase imports 140,000 tons to 4.3 million in 2008. Iraqs
imports are projected to increase 400,000 tons to 1.1 million, partly due to slow
buying in 2007. Saudi Arabia is projected to import 1.15 million tons of rice in
2008, up more than 50,000 tons from 2007. Saudi Arabia produces no rice. In
contrast, Iran is projected to reduce imports 300,000 tons to 900,000, partly due to
record production and adequate supplies. Despite a smaller crop, Turkey is
projected to reduce exports 50,000 tons to 200,000 tons, also a result of adequate
supplies.
Rice imports by Latin America (South America, Central America, the Caribbean,
and Mexico) are projected nearly flat in 2008 at 3.55 million tons. Both South and
Central America are projected to import less rice in 2008. At 800,000 tons, Brazil
is the largest buyer in the region. Brazils rice imports are unchanged from 2007.
Cuba is projected to boost imports 100,000 tons to 700,000 tons in 2008, in the face
of rising consumption and stagnant production. Cuba accounts for virtually all of
the projected import expansion in the Caribbean. In contrast, Haitis imports are
projected to decline 50,000 tons to 300,000 tons, a result of higher trading prices
and adequate supplies. Mexicos exports are projected to continue a long-term
rising trend, increasing 25,000 tons to a record 625,000 tons. Imports account for a
growing share of Mexicos domestic disappearance.
EU-27 imports are projected at 1.1 million tons in 2008, unchanged from a year
earlier. Production and consumption are virtually unchanged as well. Oceania is
projected to increase imports 165,000 tons to a record 425,000 tons, with Australia
accounting for almost all of the increase. Australia is projected to import a record
275,000 tons of rice in 2008, based on expectations of a very small harvest. The

countries of the former Soviet Union are expected to increase imports 80,000 tons to
436,000 tons, with Russia accounting for nearly all of the increase, the result of a
tightening supply situation. Finally, U.S. 2008 rice imports are projected at a record
700,000 tons, up 25,000 tons from a year earlier, mostly due to increasing demand
for Thailands jasmine rice.

Thailand, Vietnam, China, and Pakistan

Are Projected To Export More Rice in 2008
Among the top six rice exporting countriesThailand, Vietnam, India, the United
States, Pakistan, and Chinaonly India is projected to export less rice in 2008 than
a year earlier. The other five are all projected to boost exports in 2008.
Thailandthe world's largest rice-exporting countryis projected to export 9.0
million tons of rice in 2008, up 500,000 from this year. Despite the increase,
Thailands exports would still be more than 1.0 million tons below its 2004 record.
Thailand exports high-, medium-, and low-quality regular milled white rice, highquality parboiled rice, and its premium jasmine rice. Thailand is also an exporter of
glutinous rice, a specialty rice popular in specific markets, mostly in Asia.
Vietnam is the world's second-largest rice exporter and is projected to export 5.0
million tons in 2008, up 400,000 tons from this year, but still slightly below its
2005 record of 5.2 million tons. Vietnam almost exclusively exports long-grain
milled rice, mostly in the medium- and low-quality categories, and is a big supplier
to Southeast Asia and Cuba. However, Vietnam is working on improving the
quality of its rice exports and has increased shipments of its high-quality doublewater-polished 5-percent brokens to higher income buyers.
The United States, once the worlds largest rice exporting country, currently ranks
number four. In 2008, the United States is projected to export 3.4 million tons of
rice, up 100,000 tons from a year earlier, but still below the 2005 record of nearly
3.9 million tons. The United States ships long-, medium-, and short-grain rice into
global markets, with long-grain accounting for more than 75 percent of U.S.
shipments. Almost one-third of U.S. exports are shipped as rough (or unmilled)
rice. The United States is the only major exporter that allows rough-rice exports.
The U.S. also ships parboiled rice and brown rice (rice with the hull removed, but
the bran layer remaining).
Pakistan is projected to export 3.2 million tons of rice in 2008, up 200,000 from
2007, but still below the 2006 record of 3.6 million. Pakistan has increased
production and exports in recent years. Pakistan is the only major Asian country
where rice is not the staple of the diet for most citizens. This allows Pakistan to
export more than half its crop annually. Pakistan mostly exports low-quality longgrain milled rice (described as coarse rice due to its texture) to low-income markets,
mostly in East Africa. Pakistan also exports smaller quantities of its premium
basmati rice, with the EU-27 a major buyer.

29
Rice Situation and Outlook Yearbook/RCS-2007/November 2007
Economic Research Service, USDA

China is projected to increase exports 300,000 tons in 2008 to 1.6 million, a result
of adequate supplies, a drought in Australia, and the impact in early 2008 of recent
export bans imposed by Vietnam and India. Despite the expected increase, Chinas
exports are well below levels shipped before 2004. Chinas exports decreased in
2004 and 2005 due to declining supplies. China reversed its grain policies in 2004
to encourage larger rice plantings, and the program was successful. Exports have
increased each year since 2006. China exports both high-quality medium/short
ricemostly to Japan and South Koreaand low-quality long-grain rice to SubSaharan Africa and some low-income Asian markets. Recently, China has shipped
japonica rice to markets in Oceania previously supplied by Australia.
In contrast to these exporters, India is projected to reduce exports 600,000 tons in
2008 to 3.4 million. Much of the reduction is due to the ban announced on October
9, on exports of rice priced less than $425 per ton (essentially allowing only basmati
exports). The ban was invoked to ensure adequate supplies of rice for the domestic
market and to rebuild stocks. India is expected to resume exports early in 2008.
India exports a premium-priced basmati rice to higher income countries, highquality parboiled rice to middle-income countries, and low-quality, non-aromatic
long-grain rice (described as coarse rice) to developing countries.
Among the smaller exporters, Egypt is projected to export a record 1.1 million tons
in 2008, up 100,000 from a year earlier. Egypt has likely reached a limit on its
exports, as rice area and yield are already the highest on record, with Egypts yields
the highest in the world. Egypt has a large and growing population to feed.
Irrigation water for rice is fully subsidized by the government of Egypt. Egypt
exports almost exclusively high-quality medium/short-grain rice.
Australia, once a major exporter of medium/short-grain rice, is projected to ship just
40,000 tons in 2008, down from 200,000 in 2007 and the smallest since 1962.
Australia exported more than 500,000 tons a year during much of the 1990s. Severe
drought during 4 of the last 5 years has cut Australias export potential.
Uruguay is projected to export a near-record 800,000 tons of rice in 2008, up
175,000 tons from this year, a result of record supplies and stronger demand from
Brazil, Uruguays major buyer. Argentinas exports are projected to remain at
500,000 tons in 2008. Like Uruguay, Argentina has large supplies and is dependent
on Brazil for much of its business. Both countries export the bulk of their rice crop
and have the potential to expand area if net returns are sufficient. Guyanas exports
are projected at 180,000 tons, down 50,000 from 2007, mostly due to a lack of price
competitiveness in global markets. The EU-27 and the Caribbean are the top
markets for Guyanas rice.
In Asia, Cambodia is projected to export 450,000 tons, unchanged from the 2007.
These are the largest exports for Cambodia since the early 1960s. Cambodia has
boosted production since 2005/06 after decades of decline, stagnation, and
lackluster growth. Burmas exports are projected at a paltry 50,000 tons, up just
10,000 from this year. Until the mid-1960s, Burma typically exported more than a
million tons of rice per year. The current policy in Burma does not support

significant rice exports. Japan is projected to export 200,000 tons of rice in 2008,
all as food aid and unchanged from this year. South Korea is projected to donate
150,000 tons of rice in 2008, mostly to North Korea, fractionally below this year.
Neither Japan nor South Korea are price competitive in the global rice markets.
Finally, the EU-27 is projected to export 150,000 tons of rice in 2008, virtually
unchanged from recent years. Except for the high-quality Italian Arboria rice, the
EU-27 is not price-competitive in most commercial markets. Most of the EU-27s
rice exports are donations, shipped to former colonies, or are subsidized.

1/ The loan differential (milled basis) is the difference between the class whole kernel loan rates for long- and medium-grain rice.
2/ Announced farm-stored loan rates. Loan rates per hundredweight of rough rice are based on the yields of whole and broken
milled rice kernels from the milled-rice kernels from the milling process. The loan rate is the total of a) the quantity of whole-kernel
milled rice times the whole-kernel milled rice loan rate, plus b) the quantity of broken milled rice times broken rice loan rate.

1/ Reduced repayment rates for 1985 crop loans were available beginning April 15, 1986. The repayment rate was the lower of the loan
rate or the 'prevailing world market price. For the 1986 through 1995 crops, the repayment rate was the lower of (a) the loan level for the
crop, or (b) the higher of the prevailing world market price or the minimum loan repayment level. The minimum loan repayment levels were
established at 50 percent of the loan level for the 1986 and 1987 crops; 60 percent of the loan level for the 1988 crop; and 70 percent for
the 1989 through 1995 crops. The minimumloan repayment level has been eliminated effective for 1996-crop loans, and loans are
repayable at the lower of the loan level or the prevailingworld price.

1/ Yields are based on rough production. 2/ Production is expressed on both rough and m illed basis; stocks, exports, and utilization are on
a milled basis. 3/ Exports reported on a calendar year basis. Trade data have been adjusted since July 1993 to exclude Intra-EC trade
for the years 1980 to the present. 4/ For countries for which stock data are not available, utilization estim ates represent apparent utilization,
I.e., they include annual stock level adjustm ents. 5/ Stocks data are based on an aggregate of different m arket years and should
not be construed to represent world stock levels at a fixed point in tim e. Stocks data are not available for all countries .
6/ Stocks-to-use represents the ratio of m arketing year ending stocks to total utilization. 7/ Forecast as of Novem ber 2007.
