The Economic Research Service (ERS) conducts a variety of market
outlook activities on the rice industry. Details on major
changes and events in the world rice market are published
11 months of the year in Rice
Outlook (previously published outlook reports are
also available). The Rice
Yearbook provides a recap of the previous market year
and outlook for the current market year.
ERS—with UDSA's World Agricultural Outlook Board, Agricultural
Marketing Service, Farm Service Agency, and Foreign Agricultural
Service—develops USDA's monthly World
Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report (WASDE).
WASDE provides a breakdown of domestic and global supply
and utilization situation for all rice, long grain rice,
and combined medium/short grain rice.
Long-term supply and utilization projections for rice are published
in USDA Agricultural Baseline Projections,
released annually in February. For further information on the supply
and demand issues underlying the baseline for rice, see:
