India could export 8.3 million tonnes of rice this year: FAO

10 May 2013 Evaluate

India could export 8.3 million tonnes of rice this year, making it the world’s leading rice exporter for two years in a row, as per the report compiled by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Last year for the first time in three decades, India surpassed Thailand as the top exporter by shipping 10.3 million tonnes of milled rice compared with Thailand’s 7.0 million. This year Vietnam and Thailand is estimated to export 7.8 and 7.7 million tonnes, respectively.

The Asia’s rice production in 2013 is projected to rise by 2.2% to 452 million tonnes of milled rice, which will be the third year of bumper harvests for rice in Asia, as per report compiled by the FAO’s Rice Market Monitor. The FAO attributed the increased production to good weather and Government price supports for farmers in India and Thailand.

By the end of 2013, it is estimated that India’s stockpile would reach 22 million tonnes, down by 7.6% from 2012, while Thailand’s will reach 16.3 million tonnes, up 29% from 2012. Thailand, which offers farmers a fixed price of about $500 per tonne of rice, was hoping its price support scheme would boost international rice prices while bolstering farmers’ incomes.

On the other hand, in the first four months on 2013 the benchmark international rice prices had fallen by 4%. The large stocks accumulated by the Thai Government through the paddy-pledging programme weighed on market sentiment.
