citizen's total calorie intake needed
• rice area totals about 10 million ha
• 93 percent of the total area planted to
cereals
• farm size has declined from 1.43 ha in 1961
to 0.87 ha in 1994
• average rice yield remains low at about 2.7
t/ha (some growth was achieved during
recent years)

18. High volatility of international rice prices
but upward trend projected
•Impressive surge in prices in
2008 followed by a fall just as
spectacular. Prices still remain
high.
• The FAO all-rice index (2002-
2004=100) more than double
