Atlas of Rice & World Rice Statistics

Atlas of Rice
IRRI's Atlas of Rice, which illustrates rice area by type of culture for South, Southeast, and East Asia, provides information about the different rice ecosystems and relevant statistics in rice production. IRRI's GIS-IP Lab facility prepared this atlas by making use of state- of-the-art tools such as Geographic Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), Global Positioning System (GPS) and other related technologies in the conduct of rice-related research.

Rice around the World

World rice production in 2004 was just under 610 million t. At least 114 countries grow rice and more than 50 have an annual production of 100,000 t or more. Asian farmers produce about 90% of the total, with two countries, China and India, growing more than half the total crop. Click here to enter.


World Rice Statistics
World rice statistics (WRS), which is published periodically by IRRI, presents comprehensive time series information related to rice. Data on rice production, trade, consumption, inputs, prices, and other related information are compiled from international and national statistical sources, personal communications, and from responses to questionnaires sent by IRRI's Social Sciences Division. This edition of WRS includes data on rice area and production up to 2005 in some cases and most other information up to 1999 or 2000. We will continue to update the data as they become available. See recent updates highlighted in red below.

WSR was prepared by Josephine H. Narciso under the guidance of IRRI economist Mahabub Hossain. In this edition, efforts were made to expand geographical coverage wherever possible. Also, the section on modern varieties and input use was enhanced and the genealogy of IRRI-bred varieties has been included.

We appreciate the cooperation of national agencies and universities, the IRRI international outreach projects, and private corporations in providing needed statistics..

Suggestions for improving this publication are most welcome.
