The world production of rice, according to forecasts, will increase to a new record level of 551.5 million tons – mainly due to an increase in production in Asia. World production of basic food crops: on the way to new records Economic development In the report published on Thursday, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) predicts the global growth in the production of all food products, with the exception of sugar. 62 ~ according to the analytical report of the FAO “Food Perspective”, the world production of rice, corn, sorghum and oilseeds will reach new record levels. The report also notes that world food production is still vulnerable in the face of adverse weather conditions, geopolitical tension and uncertainty in trade policy. 60 > 62 >“Although trends in agricultural production & nbsp; it seems stable, factors that can negatively affect global food security are intensifying,” said the chief economist FAO Maximum Torero. ~ 60 > according to FAO forecast, producing food in the world It will increase slightly, while the total consumption per capita will decrease. In & nbsp; main growth will be caused by a 13 percent increase in wheat production in the European Union-due to the increase in productivity as a result of favorable weather conditions, as well as due to the potentially record crop in India as a result of an increase in sowing areas. 62 >It is expected that the production of forage grain in the world will increase by 3.4 percent – to a record level – thanks to the good prospects in Brazil, the European Union, and especially in the United States of America, which predicts the growth of corn by six percent – mainly due to the expansion of sown areas. Favorable weather conditions should contribute to the growth of corn production in the southern part of Africa. ~ 60 > world production & nbsp; rice, as expected, will increase to a new record level of 551.5 million tons – mainly due to production growth in Asia. The volume of international & nbsp; rice trade in 2025, according to forecasts, will increase & nbsp; 1.4 percent will reach a record level of 60.5 million tons, which will be facilitated by high demand from Africa and export growth from India and South America. 60 > it is expected that world consumption per capita rice, which is the most important grain product in the human diet, will increase in all countries of the world, and two percent will be observed in countries with a low income level and deficiency food. ~ 60 > tension in the field of world trade & nbsp; and general political uncertainty, according to FAO experts, will affect the volume of product imports. In particular, it is worth expecting rising prices for tropical drinks and animal products. The degree of exposure will affect & nbsp; such factors as the dependence of the countries on imports and the presence of alternatives. Adverse weather phenomena and malfunctions in the supply chain can further increase the cost of imports.
