Executive Summary
Member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) play a major role in the
global rice market. Over the next decade, the ASEAN region is projected to account for 53% of net
rice exports, 18% of net rice imports, 29% of harvested area, 25% of total rice production, and 22%
of total rice consumption. Rice is the major food staple in ASEAN countries and thus plays a
significant role in the food security concerns of the region. The rice price crisis that occurred in
20072008 has created a widespread sense of urgency among policy makers and other rice
stakeholders to coordinate domestic policies and rice trade.
This paper documents the current and projected status until 2022 of the rice economies in ASEAN
countries by assessing their potential supply and demand paths over the next decade.1 Other Asian
nations that have a significant role in the behavior and performance of the global rice economy are
also discussedthe Peoples Republic of China (PRC), Japan, the Republic of Korea, as well as
India and Pakistan.
While the ASEAN and global rice economies are always subject to uncertainties in weather and
policies, abundant rice supplies and slow growth in rice consumption have resulted in downward
pressure on prices. Driven by the use of higher-yielding rice varieties and other improved
production technologies, the outlook for the rice economies is expected to follow this trend. The
focus on self-sufficiency by major rice-consuming countries is expected to restrain rice trade and
dampen international rice prices over the next decade.
Domestic price policy supports, coupled with good weather, have resulted in strong rice harvests
in India and Thailand and large stock inventories. Import demand growth in other ASEAN countries
is limited for similar reasons. Much of the projected growth in rice trade is expected to come from
other regions, particularly Africa. Despite the desire for self-sufficiency and a trend for production
to grow faster than demand, major ASEAN rice importersthe Philippines and Indonesiaare
expected to remain important importers. Expected expansion in rice exports from Cambodia and
Myanmar will add to competitive price pressures that will result in lower international prices over
time.
Results of stochastic analysis, based on uncertainties associated with production, show that
international long-grain rice reference prices are expected to range from $368 per ton to as high as
$506 per ton, a gap of $138. Volatility in prices as a result of uncertain weather and policies thus
remains a persistent food security concern with the ASEAN and global rice economies.

1. Overview
1.1 Purpose of this Outlook and its Significance for ASEAN
Member nations of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) play a major role in the
global rice market. Over the next decade, the regions rice output is projected to account for 53%
of net exports, 18% of net imports, 29% of harvested area, 25% of total production, and 22% of
total consumption of world rice. Rice is the major food staple in ASEAN and thus plays a very
important role in the food security concerns of the region. The rice price crisis that occurred in
20072008 has catalyzed renewed interest and a widespread sense of urgency among policy
makers and other rice stakeholders to forge more coordinated efforts to avoid a repeat of such an
occurrence.
The purpose of this outlook is to document the current state and the expected directions of the rice
economies in ASEAN countries by assessing their potential supply and demand paths over the
next decade. As the ASEAN region is a net rice exporter to the world, the region is influenced by
factors prevailing in the global rice economy and cannot be looked at in isolation. An overview of
the global rice sector is hence included in this report.
It is important to note that over the last couple of years, the international rice market has been
dominated by twin events. First is Indias official lifting of its ban on non-basmati rice exports as of
September 2011. Second is Thailands implementation of its paddy pledging scheme in October
2011, a price-floor support policy for Thai farmers.
The outlook is not a prediction but rather a framework to be used to discuss the management of
risks of rice price volatility and their causes, including policies, supply distortions, and climate
change. The Arkansas Global Rice Model (AGRM) framework provides the ASEAN region with
functional structural models that can be used to assess intermediate and longer-term challenges
faced by the region, which meet the goal of designing a set of coherent and coordinated policy
actions to address emerging issues proactively.
1.2 The Arkansas Global Rice Model Framework
The 10-year baseline deterministic and stochastic estimates presented in this report are generated
using the AGRM. The AGRM is one of the two global rice modeling frameworks maintained by the
University of Arkansas Global Rice Economics Program. The AGRM is a partial, nonspatial,
multicountry statistical simulation, and econometric analytical framework. The other model,
Riceflow, is a spatial equilibrium framework that tracks bilateral trade flows and rice value chain
adjustments (Appendix 1).
These models are updated on a regular basis and have been used to provide analyses for the
Asian Development Bank, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, International
Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, United
States Department of Agriculture, the World Bank as well as many national governments and
research institutes. All ASEAN member nations are modeled individually in AGRM. This model links
all countries through rice prices and trade (Wailes 2012). The AGRM is disaggregated into 45 of
the major rice-producing, -consuming and -trading countries; and five rest-of-the-world regional
aggregations: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Each country and regional model
includes a supply sector, a demand sector, trade, stocks, and price linkage equations.
The AGRM and Riceflow are research application tools that provide frameworks of the global rice
economy and ASEAN countries as a system. They can thus address a wide range of issues and
questions regarding price risks, policies, and supply and demand distortions (Wailes 2012). The
10-year baseline deterministic and stochastic estimates presented in this report are generated
using the AGRM. The baseline assumes the following:
The stochastic component of the analysis provides a range of possible outcomes (confidence
intervals) as opposed to the deterministic analysis that generates average point estimates. The
stochastic framework is generated using multivariate empirical distributions of the rice yield for each
of the 50 countries/regions in the model. Yield is used because it is the variable that not only varies
by year and by country but is also very sensitive to changes in weather conditions and water
availabilityfactors that are critical for rice production.
A total of 200 random draws for each year are implemented using a 28-year empirical distribution
of historical yields generated by the software Simulation and Econometrics to Analyze Risk
(SIMETAR) developed by Richardson et al. (2008). Stochastic estimates are useful because
underlying assumptions in the deterministic baseline usually do not hold true in reality, i.e., actual
market outcomes deviate from average estimates.
The theoretical structure, general equations, and other details of the AGRM can be found in the
online documentation by Wailes and Chavez (2011). The AGRM has benefited from working closely
with the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) based at the University of
Missouri, Columbia, which maintains United States (US) agricultural and other commodity models.
FAPRI provided data on commodity prices and net returns projections, which are transmitted into
the different AGRM country models. In particular, the prices and net returns for corn, soybeans,
and wheat are relevant, considering that these commodities are substitute crops for rice in the US
and other countries. Rice area competes with a number of crops, including soybeans, corn, and
cotton in the rice-producing states in the US (Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri,
and Texas). In the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), rice competes with corn in the provinces of
Guangxi, Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning; with wheat in the province of Jiangsu; and with both corn
and wheat in the provinces of Anhui, Chongqing, Guizhou, Hubei, Ningxia, Sichuan, and Yunnan.
In India, rice competes with wheat, particularly in the northern states (Carriquiry et al. 2012 as cited
by Wailes and Chavez 2013).
The historical rice data are obtained from the Production, Supply, and Distribution report (Rice
Outlook) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS)
and Economic Research Service as of March 2013. The AGRM rice marketing years by country
generally follow the USDA system. For example, the year 2012 or marketing year 20122013 in
the model refers to January 2013December 2013 for Indonesia, Thailand, and Viet Nam; October
2012September 2013 for India; July 2012June 2013 for the Philippines; and April 2012March
2013 for South American countries. Hence, supply values for 2012 are fixed for some countries
while still dynamic for a number of countries.2 As such, the annual cumulative growth rates as well
as the total growth presented in this document are reckoned from 2011 and cover the 11-year
period of 20112022. For the most part, the data on the economies of individual countries came
from the online Central Intelligence Agency World Fact Book (2013).

Total ASEAN rice output is projected to expand by a total of 15.9 million tons over the baseline
period, growing at 1.2% annually, from nearly 114.6 million tons in 2011 to 128.8 million tons in
2022with the growth coming mainly from yields as area harvested gains only marginally (Figure
2 and Table A2.1).
The ASEAN region contributes just under 25.0% of global rice production. The ASEAN rice
harvested area accounts for 29.0% of the global total. The regions rice area harvested is projected
to expand by a total of 414,000 hectares over the next decade, reaching 46.66 million hectares in

An extended version of the AGRM baseline is available upon request. The extended version, World Rice Situation and
Outlook 2012-2022, provides detailed tables and projections for all key individual rice-importing and rice-exporting
countries for all regions of the world.
The ASEAN Plus Three is composed of the 10 member nations of ASEANBrunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia,

2022. This is equivalent to a marginal growth of 0.08% per year. The average rice yield of the region
is projected to improve from 2.47 tons per hectare in 2011 to 2.76 tons per hectare in 2022a total
increase of 319 kilograms (kg) per hectare, equivalent to an annual growth of 1.12% (Appendix 2).
Figure 2: ASEAN Rice Area Harvested, Yield, Supply and Utilization
The regions average rice yield level is lower than the world average by about 15%. However, the
yield gap is projected to narrow down to 403 kg per hectare in 2022 from 493 kg per hectare in
2011, primarily as more countries in the region expand the use of hybrid rice varieties. Thus,
improving farm productivity is the most promising direction that countries in the region need to focus
on, which entails expanding the use of high-yielding hybrids and improved production technologies.
This should be the priority both of countries aiming for rice self -sufficiency and those that are trying
to expand exports in the face of limited land and other production resources.
Challenges for rice expansion in the region include constraints on land and water resources;
competition from other crops and uses; high input prices; farm demographics; climate change; and
the emerging issue on rice carbon and water footprints. Another concern that has implications for
the future of rice farming is the migration of people from rural areas to urban centers in search of
alternative non-farm income opportunities. In conjunction with aging farmers, this situation can
aggravate labor scarcity in the agricultural sector of the region.
2.2 Rice Consumption
Rice consumption is driven by income, population, and other demographics. Rising incomes
dampen rice demand in some Asian countries where rice is considered an inferior good. Other
factors include aging populations and increasing health consciousness that shift diet preferences
away from carbohydrates and toward protein-based foods.
The ASEAN rice total consumption accounts for 22.1% of the world total. Over the next decade,
ASEAN rice total use will expand from 100.7 million tons in 2011 to 113.5 million tons in 2022,
attaining a growth of 1.10 % annually (Figure 2). The average ASEAN rice per capita use has been
2.5 times the world average (164 kg versus 65 kg over the last decade). The growth in the regions
total rice consumption over the baseline period is driven by a population growth of 1.06% annually
(Table A2.6) as the average per capita use of rice is projected to be flat (Table A2.7).
2.3 Rice Exports
ASEAN net rice exports declined 16.9% in 2011 from the 2010 level of 18.6 million tons, largely
due to the 4.1-million ton or 39.3% drop in Thai exports as a result of the countrys paddy pledging
program that made its quoted export prices much higher than its competitors prices. The regions
net rice exports went up 4.6% in 2012 as Thailands export shipments gained 19.8%, mainly
through government-to-government sales.
Reflecting the same historical average share, the total ASEAN net rice exports are expected to
account for 52.6% of the total global volume over the projection period (20112022). The combined
net rice exports of ASEAN are projected to grow at 3.0% per year, from 15.4 million tons in 2011
to 21.4 million tons in 2022 over the same period. Two of the top five world rice exporters, Thailand
and Viet Nam, are both ASEAN members, which are projected to jointly account for about 47% of
the growth of global net exports during the same period (Figure 3 and Table A2.2).
Figure 3: ASEAN Rice Trade
Despite Thailands unpopular and controversial paddy pledging program, the country is expected
to reestablish its strong presence in the global rice market over the next decade. Recent
government pronouncements indicate that the country has decided to sell its mounting rice
stockpile both into the open market and through government-to-government sales. The Thai
government is expected to incur substantial financial losses in the short term as it sells its highpriced rice at competitively lower prices.
Cambodia and Myanmar are projected to increase their rice exports steadily as production
continues to exceed consumption. Good availability of land and water resources in these two
countries offers opportunities to expand rice production and rice exports. This, however, is subject
to their ability to build the necessary infrastructure and institutional support to export larger volumes
on a sustained basis. Over the last few years of the baseline, both countries are projected to reach
a similar magnitude of rice exports of approximately 1.6 million tons.
The Lao People's Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) also has the potential to become an important
rice exporter in the region, subject likewise to its ability to successfully undertake infrastructure
capacity and institutional building. Over the last half of the baseline period, the country is projected
to shift from being a net rice importer to a net rice exporter, reaching nearly 200,000 tons of net
rice exports by 2022.
The issue of unofficial cross-border trade of rice in the ASEAN region remains unresolved. The
total elimination of this problem is challenging. However, minimizing it will improve transparency in
rice trade and prices, and will contribute to generating more reliable market information for better
decision-making purposes.
See Appendix 2 for individual ASEAN country rice situation and outlook supply and utilization estimates.
dependent on revenues from crude oil and natural gas, which account for 60% of GDP and 90% of
exports. The country is the third largest oil producer in Southeast Asia and the fourth largest
producer of liquefied natural gas in the world. By sector, the countrys GDP is composed of 0.6%
agriculture, 71.7% industry, and 27.7% services.
The countrys population is 415,717 and grows at 1.69% per year; 89% is under 55 years old. Per
capita income, at $50,500 in 2012, is one of the highest in the world. The labor force totals 205,800,
with 4.2% in agriculture, 62.8% in industry, and 33.0% in services. The local currency, the Brunei
dollar (BND or B$), had an exchange rate of B$1.25 in 2012 and is projected to appreciate relative
to the US dollar over the baseline period.
Rice Supply and Demand
The country consumed 53,000 tons of milled rice in 2011, with about 97% coming from imports.
Rice per capita use generally ranges from 120 kg to 123 kg per year over the projection period.
Given the population growth, this translates to an annual increase of about 2.0% in total rice
consumption. To meet this demand, net rice imports are seen to grow by just under 1.0% per year
(Table A3.1). Only 2.1% of the countrys 5,765-square kilometer land area is considered arable.
The USDA reports that the country produces 1,000 tons of milled rice from 1,000 harvested
hectares. Eventually, the government plans to increase the area planted to rice to 5,000 hectares,
depending on the availability of suitable land that can be developed without damaging the
ecological balance.
To improve food security, the country has a goal of 60% self-sufficiency in rice by 2015 despite its
limited land. The government has been seriously exploring ways to increase rice output since 1978,
and indications are that it will continue to do so. Recent efforts are focused on availing of rice
technical assistance and training from neighboring countries. Another option mentioned is entering
into joint venture agreements with neighboring rice-producing countries to own and operate rice
farms.
3.2 Cambodia
Economy
Garments, construction, agriculture, and tourism have been driving Cambodias economic growth
since 2004, causing real GDP to grow over 6% per year in 20102012, among the strongest in
Southeast Asia. The garment industry accounts for 70% of the countrys total exports. The economy
is composed of 34.7% agriculture, 24.3% industry, and 41% services. The population is 15.2 million
and grows at 1.69% per year; 91% is below 55 years old. Per capita income is $2,400. Out of its
labor force of 7.9 million, 55.8% is in agriculture, 16.9% in industry, and 27.3% in services. The
local currency, the riel (KHR or KR), had an exchange rate of KR4,075 in 2012 and is projected to
depreciate relative to the US dollar over the baseline, which will improve the countrys export
competitiveness
Rice Supply and Demand
The country harvested 2.77 million hectares of rice in 2011, yielding an average of 1.54 tons per
hectare. Total milled rice production stands at 4.27 million tons, growing at 3.0% per year, mainly
from yield growth (2.9%) as area is up only marginally (0.1%). Total rice consumption (3.45 million
tons in 2011) grows at 2.1% annually and is projected to reach 4.34 million tons in 2022, mainly as
a result of 1.5% population growth as per capita use increases only 0.60% per year. The countrys
rice exports expand at 6.6% per year, which are estimated to double from 795,000 tons in 2011 to
1.6 million tons in 2022. The USDAs rice export figures for Cambodia are much higher than those
quoted or reported elsewhere because the USDA includes both the estimated cross-border trade
and the official trade for rice. This reportedly involves some information gathering and verification
from the ground. The USDA believes this approach makes the supply and demand data more
realistic. As Cambodia attains improvements in yields and continues to have production surplus,
rice exports are projected to expand steadily, doubling from 800,000 tons in 2011 to 1.61 million
tons by 2022 (Table A3.2).
However, to accelerate official rice exports at a sustained level, Cambodia needs to accomplish
two things: to invest in infrastructure development, and to control and manage the reportedly
rampant unofficial cross-border trade of unmilled rice into its neighboring countries. In so doing, the
countrys farmers can benefit from improved value-added revenues by directly exporting milled rice.
The settlement of the cross-border trade issue will require strong political will from top-level officials
of the countries involved in formulating well-coordinated and implementable diplomatic solutions.
3.3 Indonesia
Economy
During the global financial crisis, Indonesia outperformed its regional neighbors and joined the PRC
and India as the only Group of 20 members that posted growth in 2009. Introducing a number of
significant financial reforms and conservative fiscal policies, the countrys economy grew over 6%
in 2010 and 2011. Estimated real GDP growth in 2012 is 6%. By sector, the countrys economy is
composed of 15.4% agriculture, 46.5% industry, and 38.1% services. The countrys population is
251.2 million and projected to grow at 1.03% annually; 86% is under 55 years old. Per capita
income is $5,000. Its labor force stands at 118 million, with 38.9% in agriculture, 22.2% in industry,
and 47.9% in services. The local currency, the rupiah (IDR or Rp), had an exchange rate of Rp9,670
in 2012 and is projected to depreciate relative to the US dollar over the baseline period.
Rice Supply and Demand
The countrys 12.16 million hectares of harvested rice produced 36.50 million tons of milled rice in
2011 at an average yield of 3.0 tons per hectare. Total rice production is projected to grow at 1.1%
annually, solely from yield gain. The rate of land conversion to non-agricultural uses near urban
areas in Java is at a reported high rate of 100,000 hectares per year. This has made it difficult to
expand the rice area, which does not augur well for the countrys rice self-sufficiency goal. Total
rice consumption (39.55 million tons in 2011) grows at 0.95% per year, mainly as a result of
population growth as per capita consumption gains under 0.1% annually (Table A3.3).
Indonesia sources about 6% of its domestic rice requirement from imports and its government has
been constantly trying to limit importation. Recently, however, the country signed a 5-year
agreement with Viet Nam to import 1.5 million tons of rice annually starting in 2013. The countrys
rice imports recently declined dramatically, from 3.1 million tons in 2010 to under 2.0 million tons
in 2011, due to the combination of increased domestic production and withdrawal from its stocks.
During the same period, while the total area harvested increased by 85,000 hectares and the
average yield improved by 60 kg per hectare, there was also a substantial decline of 18% (or 1.1
million tons) in its stocks.
Rice imports are estimated to further contract to 1.8 million tons in 2012 as the country continues
to resort to withdrawing from its stocks. Assuming a stock level equivalent to 26 days of
consumption, annual rice imports are projected to remain around 2.8 million tons. This estimate is
relatively low compared to the historical level of about 49 days during the last decade, but this is
consistent with the stock management style shown recently by the Indonesian government.
3.4 Lao Peoples Democratic Republic
Economy
Still a one-party communist state, the country began decentralizing control and encouraging private
enterprise in 1986, causing its economy to attain a robust growth north of 7% from 20082012,
albeit from a low base. The Lao PDR, however, is heavily dependent on capital-intensive natural
resource exports and is constrained by underdeveloped infrastructure especially in rural areas. By
sector, the countrys economy is composed of 26.0% agriculture, 34.0% industry, and 40.0%
services. The countrys population is 6.70 million and projected to grow at 1.65% per year; 91% is
under 55 years old. Per capita income is $3,000. Out of its labor force of 3.7 million, 75.1% is in
agriculture, and the rest in industry and services. Agriculture labor is dominated by rice cultivation
in lowland areas. The local currency, the kip (LAK or KN), had an exchange rate of KN8,018 in
2012 and is expected to depreciate relative to the US dollar over the projection period.
Rice Supply and Demand
The country has 817,000 hectares of rice, producing 1.4 million tons of milled rice in 2011 at an
average yield of 1.71 tons per hectare. Total rice production is estimated at 3.4% per year, of which
2.1% comes from yield and 1.3% from the annual gain in area harvested. Total rice consumption
(1.44 million tons in 2011) grows at 1.63% per year, resulting mainly from population growth as per
capita rice consumption grows only 0.09% annually over the baseline period. With production
growing faster than consumption, the country is expected to become a minor rice exporter over the
next decade, with shipments projected to grow from 9,000 tons in 2016 to 295,000 tons by 2022
(Table A3.4).
3.5 Malaysia
Economy
Malaysias economy is driven by exports, mainly electronics, oil and gas, palm oil, and rubber.
However, the current government is reportedly trying to boost domestic demand and reduce
dependence on exports. The countrys economy grew by 4.5% in 2012. By sector, the countrys
economy is composed of 11.9% agriculture, 41.2% industry, and 46.8% services. The population
is 29.63 million and projected to grow at 1.54% per year; 87% is under 55 years old. Per capita
income is $16,900. The labor force stands at 12.92 million, with 11.1% in agriculture, 36.0% in
industry, and 53.5% in services. The local currency, the ringgit (MYR or RM), is projected to have
a stable exchange rate of around RM3.07 to the US dollar over the baseline period.
Rice Supply and Demand
The country harvested 675,000 hectares of rice in 2011, producing 1.69 million tons of milled rice
at an average yield of 2.50 tons per hectare. Total rice production grows at 1.33% annually, coming
from yield improvement of 0.98% and an increase in area harvested of 0.34%. For the longer term,
the government is reportedly encouraging large-scale private-sector commercial paddy production,
especially in the states of Sabah and Sarawak where land is still abundant.
The government has reportedly reduced the rice self-sufficiency target to 70% from the original
goal of 90%. Under the new food security policy, the governments strategies are designed to
ensure a sufficient supply of rice that include maintaining a government rice stockpile equivalent to
45 days of consumption, entering into long-term contract agreements to import rice, and increasing
the productivity of existing rice areas through infrastructure upgrade, without developing new areas.
Total rice consumption (2.71 million tons in 2011) grows at 1.90% per year, which is largely due to
population growth as per capita consumption is up only 0.50% annually. Rice self-sufficiency is
currently around 60%. The balance of Malaysias rice needs is sourced mainly from Viet Nam,
Thailand, and Pakistan, in that order. The countrys net rice imports are estimated to grow by 2.3%
per year, from 1.08 million tons in 2011 to 1.39 million tons by 2022 (Table A3.5).
3.6 Myanmar
Economy
Myanmar is a resource-rich country but its economy is reportedly constrained by pervasive
government controls, inefficient economic policies, and rural poverty. While the government has
good economic relations with neighboring countries, significant improvements are needed in the
business climate and the political situation to attract serious foreign investments. Despite the
constraints, however, the countrys economy attained real growth of 5.5% in 2011 and 6.2% in
2012. By sector, the countrys economy is composed of 38.8% agriculture, 19.3% industry, and
41.8% services. The countrys population is 55.17 million and grows at 1.07% per year; 88% is
under 55 years old. Per capita income is $1,400. The labor force totals 33.41 million, with 70.0% in
agriculture, 7.0% in industry, and 23.0% in services. The local currency, the kyat (MMK or MK),
had an exchange rate of MK868 in 2012 and is projected to have a relatively stable exchange rate
with the US dollar over the baseline.
Rice Supply and Demand
The countrys harvested rice area is projected to expand at 0.65% per year, from 6.5 million
hectares in 2011 to nearly 7.0 million hectares in 2022. Total milled rice production reached 10.82
million tons in 2011 and is growing at 1.94% per year, 1.29% of which comes from yield growth.
Average yield is forecasted to improve from 1.66 tons per hectare in 2011 to 1.92 tons per hectare
in 2022. Total rice consumption will increase from 10.2 million tons in 2011 to 11.7 million tons in
2022, equivalent to a growth of 1.25% annually, with nearly 1.0% resulting from population growth
and 0.26% from per capita consumption (Table A3.6).
As Myanmars yield-based growth in domestic rice output continues to exceed that of domestic
consumption, rice exports are projected to expand steadily over the baseline, from 690,000 tons in
2011 to 1.59 million tons by 2022. As in the case of Cambodia, adequate investments in
infrastructure development will be required to achieve this level of growth.
The country has promising opportunities to expand its rice exports due to substantial improvements
in milling facilities. Since 1990, the number of rice mills reportedly increased from 225 to 1,230, rice
polishers from 10 to 28, and color sorters from 1 to 9. These improvements should support
postharvest quality and loss reduction, which would augur well for expanding the countrys
presence in the global rice market.
3.7 Philippines
Economy
Driven by consumer demand, exports, investments, and election-related spending, the Philippine
economy expanded by 7.6% in 2010. Growth slowed to 3.9% in 2011 but recovered and grew by
6.6% in 2012. The country weathered the recent global recession better than most of its Asian
neighbors due to its minimal exposure to troubled international investments, lower dependence on
exports, relatively resilient domestic consumption, a growing outsourcing industry on business
processing, and strong support from the dollar remittances of overseas workers. By sector, the
countrys GDP is composed of 11.9% agriculture, 31.1% industry, and 57.0% services. The
countrys population is 105.72 million and grows at 1.87% per year; 90% is under 55 years old. Per
capita income stands at $4,300. The country has a labor force of 40.36 million, with 32.0% in
agriculture, 15.0% in industry, and 53.0% in services. The exchange rate of the Philippine peso
(PHP or P), the local currency, was P42.23 in 2012 and is projected to depreciate slightly relative
to the US dollar over the baseline
Rice Supply and Demand
The country produced 10.70 million tons of milled rice from 4.58 million hectares in 2011, based on
an average yield of 2.34 tons per hectare. Total rice production is projected to grow at 1.91%
annually, largely from yield improvements (1.80%) by using more hybrids, as potential expansion
in harvested area is limited. Rice faces land use competition from industrialization and the growth
of the real estate sector in the country (Oryza 2013). This makes rice area expansion and the
attainment of the countrys rice self-sufficiency goal much more challenging. Total rice consumption
is estimated to grow at 1.71% per year, from 12.85 million tons in 2011 to 15.48 million tons in
2022, solely as a result of population growth as per capita consumption declines marginally (Table
A3.7).
The Philippines imports about 14% of its domestic rice requirement, and the government tries to
limit importation in line with its self-sufficiency target in 2013. The government planned to reduce
rice imports from 1.5 million tons in 2011 to 0.5 million tons in 2012 by increasing support to farmers
and encouraging the use of hybrids. However, to maintain a reasonable stock level, it is assessed
that the country has to import an estimated 1.9 million tons in 2012.
Assuming that a stock level equivalent to 50 days of consumption is maintained, annual rice imports
are projected to remain around 2.2 million tons. This amount is below the countrys historical stock
level of about 126 days during the last decadeor even the Philippine governments 90-day buffer
stock policy. However, this is in line with the recent practice of the government to minimize rice
importation in support of the countrys self-sufficiency goal.
3.8 Singapore
Economy
Singapore has a very successful free market economy that depends heavily on the exportation of
consumer electronics, information technology products, pharmaceuticals, and financial services.
The countrys average real GDP grew above 8% in the 4 years preceding the global financial crisis,
but contracted as exports weakened during the crisis, then recovered in 2010 and 2011, before
declining again to 1.3% in 2012 as a result of the recession in Europe. Singapores economy is
composed of 26.8% industry, 73.2% services, and marginal agriculture. The countrys per capita
income is $60,900, the seventh highest in the world. In Asia, only Qatar has a higher level of income
at $102,800, which is also the highest in the world.
The countrys population is 5.46 million and grows at 1.99% per year; 82% is under 55 years old.
Out of its labor force of 3.62 million, 0.1% is in agriculture, 19.6% in industry, and 80.3% in services.
The local currency, the Singapore dollar (SGD or S$), had an exchange rate of S$1.25 in 2012 and
is projected to appreciate slightly relative to the US dollar over the next decade.
Rice Supply and Demand
The country does not produce rice, depending entirely on the international market for its domestic
rice needs. The USDA does not show any rice stocks for the country, so imports are assumed to
simply match total consumption. The countrys imports are projected to grow at 0.83% annually,
from 350,000 in 2011 to 383,000 by 2022 (Table A3.8).
To ensure food security, the country is reportedly aiming to transform itself from being a passive
food importer to a more active contributor to the regional and global food system through urban
agribusiness, realizing that it has little land to grow its own food. The strategy has four prongs: (i)
to accelerate research and development; (ii) to turn Singapore into an agribusiness hub where the
private sector will play a key role; (iii) to develop Singapores own domestic market into a test lab
for urban agriculture (e.g., rooftop farming); and (iv) to shift toward greater local production of
three key food itemseggs, leafy vegetables, and fish (Kassim 2011).
3.9 Thailand
Economy
Growth in Thailands economy is driven by industrial and agricultural exports, consisting mainly of
electronics, agricultural commodities, automobiles and parts, and processed foods. Thailands
economy expanded 7.8% in 2010, but growth was interrupted in the last quarter of 2011 by historic
flooding in the industrial areas of Bangkok and the surrounding provinces. The economy recovered
in 2012, with the GDP growing at 5.5%.
The economy is composed of 8.6% agriculture, 39.0% industry, and 52.4% services. The
population is 67.45 million and growing at 0.54% per year; 80% is under 55 years old. Per capita
income is $10,000. The country has a labor force of 39.77 million, with 38.2% in agriculture, 13.6%
in industry, and 48.2% in services. The local currency, the baht (THB or B), had an exchange rate
of B31.09 in 2012 and is projected to be stable relative to the US dollar over the baseline.
Rice Supply and Demand
The country harvested 11.0 million hectares of rice in 2011, yielding 1.86 tons per hectare on
average. Total milled rice production is 20.46 million tons, growing at 0.89% per year, which solely
comes from yield growth as area harvested is flat over the projection period. Total rice consumption
(10.40 million tons in 2011) is projected to grow at 0.41% annually, solely due to population growth
as per capita use declines marginally over the same period (Table A3.9).
The rice pledging scheme implemented by the government starting in October 2011 has
constrained Thai rice exports, causing a substantial decline in shipments and a consequent
excessive buildup in stocks. The government announced recently that a portion of the rice stocks,
especially the old crop, will be sold through the open market and government-to-government
arrangementseven at a loss. The country has to do this not only to get rid of the deteriorating old
rice crops in storage but also to recoup its top position in global rice trade, which it has recently lost
to India. The countrys chances are favorable, given its good infrastructure resources and concerted
focus on developing a strong presence in branded high-quality rice (Wailes and Chavez 2013b).
The baseline thus projects that Thailand will eventually regain its leading market share in the
international rice market.
3.10 Viet Nam
Economy
In recent years, the Vietnamese government has reaffirmed its commitment to economic
modernization. Membership in the WTO in January 2007 has promoted export-driven industries.
Vietnam also became an official negotiating partner in the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade
agreement in 2010.
The global recession hurt Viet Nam's export-oriented economy, with the GDP growing at only 5%,
its slowest rate of growth since 1999. In 2012, however, annual exports recovered and expanded
more than 18%. The countrys economy is projected to have a robust growth of about 6.5% over
the projection periodone of the strongest among the ASEAN economies. Viet Nams economy is
composed of 21.5% agriculture, 40.7% industry, and 37.7% services. The countrys population is
92.48 million and growing at 1.05% annually; 87% is under 55 years old. Per capita income is
$3,500. The labor force of 39.77 million constitutes 48.0% in agriculture, 21.0% in industry, and
31.0% in services. The local currency, the dong (VND or D), had an exchange rate of D20,828 in
2012 and is projected to depreciate relative to the US dollar over the baseline.
Rice Supply and Demand
The country harvested 7.74 million hectares and produced 27.08 million tons of milled rice in 2011,
or an average yield of 3.50 tons per hectare, which grows at 0.83% annually. Total milled rice
production grows at 0.57% per year, all of which comes from yield growth as area harvested
contracts by 0.26% annually. Total rice consumption (19.65 million tons in 2011) grows at 0.90%
per year, solely due to population growth as per capita consumption declines by 0.04% per year
(Table A3.10).
Taking advantage of reduced rice exports from Thailand as a result of the paddy pledging scheme,
Viet Nam (along with India and Pakistan) has expanded its rice exports and pegged its price at very
competitive world reference levels. As a result, Viet Nams net rice exports in 2011 exceeded that
of Thailands by 1.3 million tons. The country aims to strengthen its presence in the international
market by focusing on improved rice quality and by expanding export opportunities to new markets
such as the PRC. An issue that the country may have to address is the reported unofficial crossborder rice trade coming from its neighboring countries. As growth in Viet Nams total domestic rice
consumption exceeds domestic output, the countrys exports are projected to be relatively flat,
around 7.0 million tons over the baseline.
and demand throughout much of Asia, where it is the dominant food staple. While rice is the primary
staple for half of the worlds population, it is thinly traded. Only about 7% of rice production is traded
as opposed to 10% for coarse grains and 16% for wheat (Wailes and Chavez 2012). The
international rice trade is highly concentrated, with five dominant playersThailand, India, Viet
Nam, Pakistan, and the US, in that orderaccounting for 89% of global net trade.
Despite slow growth in rice consumption, increased rice output, driven by the use of higher-yielding
varieties and hybrids and other improved production technologies as well as the more focused selfsufficiency programs of major rice-consuming countries, is expected to expand supply. This will
dampen international rice prices over the next decade. The situation is beneficial for food-deficit
rice-importing countries in the developing world but could have uncertain response from rice
producers and exporters (Wailes and Chavez 2013b). The average international long-grain rice
reference price is projected to decline steadily from $477 per ton in 2011 to $430 per ton in 2022.
The average medium-grain rice price, however, would be generally stable above $800 per ton over
the same period (Figure 4).

increasingly, Cambodia and Myanmar. Consequently, Thailands rice export volumes in 2011
declined dramatically by 44% while rice export supplies from the other major exporters dominated
international trade (Figure 3). Thailands share of global net rice exports declined to 19% in 2011
compared to a historical average of 34% during the 5-year period of 20062010 (Wailes and
Chavez 2013b).
4.4 Global Rice Trade
While criticism and opposition to the Thai pledging scheme abound, the government of Thailand
has reauthorized the extension of the program for marketing years 20122013 and 20132014. As
expected, with Thailands mounting rice stocks, burdensome costs of storage, and limited export
shipments because of non-competitive high prices, Thailand recently announced a plan to release
a portion of its stocks from previous seasons to the international market at a loss (The New York
Times 2013). The baseline assumes a continuation of this policy and the willingness of the Thai
government to export at a loss. As depicted in Figure 6, the baseline projects a return to a larger
export share for Thailand and to a consequent increase in the global share of ASEAN net rice
exports from 47% in 20112012 to 55% by 20212022 (Table A2.2 and Table A5.1).
Figure 6: Regional Shares of World Net Rice Trade, 20112022
The bulk of the world net rice imports are shipped to countries in Africa, ASEAN, and other Asian
regions (Table A5.1). Figure 6 also shows the projected shifts in regional rice import shares. The
projections suggest that ASEAN net rice import shares will increase slightly from 15% in 2011
2012 to 17% by 20212022 as efforts to attain self-sufficiency are offset by population growth in
Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines (Table A2.5). The dominant rice-importing region, Africa,
will maintain an import share of 40% over the projection period. Significant growth is projected for
other Asian regions (Bangladesh, the PRC, and the Middle Eastern countries), increasing from
27% in 20112012 to 32% by 20212022. Accessing other markets in Africa and Asia will thus
provide a growth opportunity for ASEAN rice-exporting countries.
4.5 Key Non-ASEAN Rice Countries
There is no doubt that the resumption of Indias long-grain rice exports, which began in September
2011, has had substantial effects on international rice trade and prices. To a large extent, it has
neutralized the potential upward price impact of Thailands paddy pledging scheme. As a result,
global rice prices have remained stable at relatively lower levelsbenefiting consumers especially
in food-deficit countries. A relatively recent development in global trade is the emergence of the
PRC as a major rice importer, which has been taking advantage of attractive lower rice prices over
the last couple of years. Hence, a baseline outlook for other key Asian countries is useful.
4.6 Peoples Republic of China
Economy
Since the PRC has restructured its economy from a closed, centrally-planned system to greater
market orientation in the late 1970s, the efficiency gains have caused its GDP to expand over
tenfold since 1978. The country became the worlds largest merchandise exporter in 2010. The
economy grew by 7.8% in 2012, albeit lower than the 9.3% growth registered in 2011 and 10.4%
in 2010. The economy is projected to have robust growth over the next decade, although at a pace
slightly lower than in previous years. The economy is composed of 10.1% agriculture, 45.3%
industry, and 44.6% services. The PRC is the worlds most populous country, with a population of
1,349,600, which is only growing at 0.48% per year; 79% of the population is under 55 years. Per
capita income is $9,100. The country has a massive labor force of 795.4 million, with 34.8% in
agriculture, 29.5% in industry, and 35.7% in services. The local currency, the renminbi (RMB) or
yuan (CNY), had an exchange rate of CNY6.31 in 2012 and is projected to appreciate relative to
the US dollar over the baseline.
Rice Supply and Demand
The PRC harvested 30.06 million hectares of rice and produced 140.7 million tons of milled rice in
2011 at an average yield of 4.68 tons per hectare. Yields are expected to grow at 0.66% annually.
Total milled rice production declines at 0.17% per year, as a 0.82% annual contraction in area
exceeds gains in average yield. The total rice area is projected to contract by 2.6 million hectares
over the next decade as the countrys agricultural economy diversifies. Total rice consumption is
estimated to decline by 0.17% per year, as the population growth of 0.36% per year is not enough
to compensate for the annual decline in per capita use of 0.53%.
The country was a net rice exporter of about 633,000 tons per year during 20052009. But in
reaction to lower international rice prices, it became a significant net rice importer in 2011 (with
1.79 million tons of rice imports and 0.44 million tons of rice exports) and in 2012 (with 2.42 million
tons of rice imports and 0.50 million tons of rice exports). Over the baseline, the country is projected
to remain a net rice importer by an average of 1.0 million tons. The PRC maintains a relatively high
stocks-to-use ratio of 0.32 to 0.50, which augurs well for its food security (Table A4.1).
4.7 Japan
Economy
Government stimulus spending helped the economy recover in late 2009 and 2010 from the
recession in 2008. However, the economy contracted again in 2011 as the massive 9.0 magnitude
earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit Japans northeast Pacific coastal region on 11 March 2011,
disrupting the manufacturing sector. The USDA reported that the disaster took the lives of over
24,000 people, and damaged about 23,600 hectares of arable land. Estimates of physical and
infrastructural damages to the agriculture, fishery, and forestry sectors have reached $30 billion.
According to the USDA, During this unprecedented crisis, Japans food supply system
demonstrated remarkable resilience and strength in its ability to secure ample, undisrupted supplies
of food for people in the affected regions and feed for livestock animalsattesting to the robustness
of Japans food security system, which relies on both domestic production and the availability of
year, from 4.98 million tons in 2011 to 4.44 million tons in 2022, as the slight population growth of
0.12% partially offsets the decline in per capita consumption of 1.15% per year. The countrys
annual rice imports are generally stable based on the preset WTO minimum access level (Table
A4.3).
4.9 India
Economy
India is developing into an open market economy and is projected to have one of the highest real
GDP growth rates in Asia over the next decade. The country has a diverse economy that includes
village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, and a wide range of modern industries and
services. By sector, the economy is composed of 17.0% agriculture, 18.0% industry, and 65.0%
services. The population is projected to grow to 1,220,800, increasing at 1.31% annually; nearly
88% is under 55 years old. Per capita income is $3,900. India has a big labor force of 498.4 million,
second only to China, with 53.0% in agriculture, 19.0% in industry, and 28.0% in services. The local
currency, the Indian rupee (INR or Re/Rs), had an exchange rate of Rs53.17 in 2012 and is
projected to appreciate slightly relative to the US dollar over the next decade.
Rice Supply and Demand
India harvested 44.1 million hectares of rice in 2011, producing 105.3 million tons of milled rice at
an average yield of 2.39 tons per hectare. Total milled rice production grows at 0.84% per year, of
which 0.70% comes from yield growth and 0.14% from a gain in area harvested. Despite strong
government promotion, the area planted to hybrid rice was only about 1.5 million hectares in 2011
2012, mostly in eastern India. There are 26 popular hybrids in the market but several challenges
reportedly remain, such as the inability to cater to the very diverse consumer preferences for rice,
low incremental yields, higher irrigation and chemical input requirements, low milling rates, and the
poor cooking quality of hybrid rice compared to traditional varieties. Total rice consumption is
calculated to grow at 1.22% annually, from 93.3 million tons in 2011 to 106.7 million tons in 2022,
solely due to population growth as per capita use is flat (Table A4.4).
Due to its mounting rice stocks, India officially lifted its ban on non-basmati rice exports on 9
September 2011, putting downward pressure on both the domestic rice prices and international
reference prices. Recently, the country has embarked on an ambitious plan to create a legal
entitlement to subsidized food grains for 63.5% of its population. However, funding and the
implementation logistics of this program remain a big challenge.
4.10 Pakistan
Economy
A combination of internal political conflicts and low levels of foreign investments have led to the
countrys relatively slow economic growth. The economy grew around 3.0% in 20102011 and
3.7% in 2012. The economy is composed of 20.1% agriculture, 25.5% industry, and 54.4%
services. The population is 193.24 million and growing at 1.55% per year; nearly 91% is under 55
years old. Per capita income is $2,900. Out of the labor force of 60.36 million, 45.1% is in
agriculture, 20.7% in industry, and 34.2 % in services. The local currency, the Pakistani rupee (PKR
or PRe/PRs), had an exchange rate of PRs95.1 in 2012 and is projected to depreciate relative to
the US dollar over the next decade.
5. Stochastic Analysis
5.1 Baseline Results
In light of the structural characteristics of the global rice economy, this section presents a stochastic
analysis to provide a better understanding of the likely upper and lower bounds for selected
variables. The results of the stochastic analyses for ASEAN regional rice prices and international
rice prices are further illustrated in the charts in Appendix 6. To show the direction and spread of
the stochastic outcome distribution, three outcome items for selected variables are presentedthe
stochastic average, the 10th percentile, and the 90th percentile. Intuitively, the gap between the
two percentiles (10th and 90th) indicates the magnitude of price volatility. Widening indicates
increased price volatility while narrowing indicates decreased price volatility. Another measure of
dispersion of a probability distribution is the coefficient of variation, which is defined as the standard
deviation divided by the mean.
For purposes of brevity, only two representative charts (the long-grain rice international reference
price and the ASEAN rice ending stocks) are discussed in this section, which can then be used as
patterns in explaining the rest of the charts in Appendix 6. The information projected in each of the
charts is similar in principle.
Figure 7 shows the long-grain rice international reference prices. For 2013, while the mean price is
$422 per ton, the stochastic distribution indicates that 10% of the time, the average price will be
higher than $506 per ton and lower than $368 per ton. That is, the gap between the two percentiles
is $138 per ton. This gap varies across the estimation period. The computed coefficient of variation
for 2013 is 0.127.
Figure 8 traces the path of the ASEANs ending stocks of rice. While in 2013, the mean is 21.9
million tons, the stochastic distribution shows that 10% of the time, the average ending stocks will
be higher than 22.5 million tons and lower than 20.2 million tons 10% of the time. Note that the
volatility as indicated by the gap is milder for rice stocks. In this case, the coefficient of variation for
2013 is 0.041.
Figure 8: ASEAN Rice Ending Stocks (Stochastic Projection)
Again, a similar analysis can be made for the rest of the stochastic charts in Appendix 6. The same
principle holds, with the difference lying only with varying units and absolute numbers.
This feature of the stochastic analysis provides an advantage as it indicates how the outcomes are
distributed by providing information on risk and uncertainty, which is an important characteristic of
agricultural commodity enterprises and markets, such as that of rice. Thus, the stochastic analysis
The stochastic framework of the AGRM also provides a framework to measure the baseline
probability of achieving self-sufficiency, given the historical randomness of rice yields as influenced
by weather and climatic events. Figure 11 indicates that given the baseline conditions based on
historical variability in Indonesias rice yields, self-sufficiency could be achieved with a probability
of 10% by 2016 and a probability of 25% by 2020. For the Philippines, Figure 12 depicts a stochastic
baseline where self-sufficiency is achieved with a probability of 10% by 2015 and a probability of
30% by 2021.

Finally, an assessment of the externality effects of achieving self-sufficiency by a major riceimporting country can be made using the model to show impacts for specific rice exporters and
world rice prices. Table 2 shows that achieving self-sufficiency in Indonesia and the Philippines
over the baseline beginning in 2013 would reduce exports from Viet Nam initially by 19% and after
adjustment over time by 7%.

As relatively large rice importers, achieving self-sufficiency in the Philippines and Indonesia would
have effects on world prices, lowering the baseline projected price by 18% initially and by 9% by
2022 (Table 3).

6. Conclusion
While the ASEAN and global rice economies are always subject to uncertainties in weather and
policies, abundant supplies and slow growth in consumption have resulted in downward pressure
on prices. Driven by the use of higher-yielding rice varieties and other improved production
technologies, the outlook is expected to follow this trend. The focus on self-sufficiency by major
rice-consuming countries is expected to restrain rice trade and dampen international rice prices
over the next decade.
Domestic price policy supports, coupled with good weather, have resulted in strong rice harvests
in India and Thailand and large stock inventories. Import demand growth in other ASEAN countries
is limited for similar reasons. Much of the projected growth in rice trade is expected to come from
other regions, particularly Africa and the Middle East. Despite the desire for self-sufficiency and a
trend for production to grow faster than demand, the major ASEAN rice importersIndonesia and
the Philippinesare expected to remain important importers. The expected expansion in rice
exports from Cambodia and Myanmar will add to competitive price pressures that will result in lower
international rice prices over time.
Results of stochastic analysis, based on uncertainties associated with production, show that
international long-grain rice reference prices are expected to range from $368 per metric ton to as
high as $506 per metric ton, a gap of $138. Volatility in prices as a result of uncertain weather and
policies therefore remains a persistent food security concern with the ASEAN and global rice
economies.
The baseline is shown to be useful as a framework to assess the yield gaps that exist to achieve
country-level rice self-sufficiency. When simulated in a stochastic framework, the baseline can also
generate probability estimates of achieving self-sufficiency under the baseline assumptions.
Finally, the baseline is shown to be useful in estimating the impacts on world prices and exports
from achieving self-sufficiency in traditionally large rice-importing nations such as Indonesia and
the Philippines. Thus, not only are domestic costs important to consider but the external effects
and broader costs also must be included, particularly with regard to a regional food security strategy
that evaluates the trade-offs of rice trade and self-sufficiency.

The AGRM can be used to generate annual projections of the world rice economy for a 10-year
period and up to 2035. Simulation is conducted for the purpose of the baseline projection, scenarios
on technology, trade, production shocks, consumption shocks, and policy analyses. The model can
be used to generate both deterministic average outcomes and stochastic distribution of outcomes.
The major components of a country or regional model in the AGRM include a supply sector, a
demand sector, trade, stocks, and price linkage equations. As a system of equations, the model
links countries through prices and trade to obtain global and national estimates that add up
consistently using United States Department of Agriculture data. The model makes assumptions
about key macroeconomic variables and links to other crop and livestock models. A key component
is government-determined policy variables that reflect the various mechanisms by which countries
intervene in their rice sector economy.
Computationally, the simulation model solves for the set of farm-level, retail-level, and export
(import) prices that simultaneously balances all markets (long- and medium-grain rice) in a given
year. An international reference price (for long-grain rice) and California No. 2 medium-grain rice
ex-mill price are used to balance the international rice markets, by equating net rice exports and
net rice imports.
Projections include national levels of rice production (area harvested and yields), rice consumption
(per capita use multiplied by given population), net rice trade, rice stocks, and rice prices. The
international rice market is unique because it is differentiated between long- and medium-grain rice
markets and is also heavily distorted by respective government policies on taxes, subsidies, tariffs,
etc. These policies are incorporated in the model's equations for supply, demand, export (or import),

stocks, and price transmission, and are thus implicitly reflected in the model solution.7
Riceflow Model
Riceflow is a spatial partial equilibrium model of the global rice sector, with detailed specifications
of the basic components of the rice supply chain:

(v)
(vi)
factors of production (land, labor, and capital) and intermediate inputs (fertilizer, pest
control, fuel, etc.);
paddy production, area harvested, and yield per hectare;
rice storage and drying costs and quantities;
rice milling, costs of milling, and degree of milling;
rice wholesale and import/export shipments by country source or destination; and
rice consumption.
The model builds from national or subnational models to generate disaggregated bilateral trade
flow volumes subject to trade policies and import/export fees. It disaggregates rice by type
depending on the availability of data (e.g., long grain, medium grain, fragrant, percent broken, and
the degree of milling [white, brown, and paddy]). By treating sectors and products separately, the
model allows for a detailed disaggregation by production systems, rice types, and household types,
conditional on the existence of reliable data.
Rice production in Riceflow is disaggregated into primary production, primary milling (paddy to
brown), and secondary milling (brown to milled). The model is flexible to specify alternative
production systems. Furthermore, a number of technology-related variables are defined to deal
with technological changes affecting production at any stage. Riceflow also accounts for rice
stocks, and allows the user to specify alternative behaviors regarding stock management, such as
for food security programs and policies at the national, regional or international level.8
The latest Riceflow database corresponds to calendar year 2009, and is disaggregated into 60
regions (including all ASEAN countries), three rice types (long grain, medium grain and short grain,
and fragrant rice), and three milling degrees (paddy, brown, and milled), for a total of nine rice
commodities.
Riceflow has been used extensively to assess different rice market scenarios:
(i) technological changes (e.g., adoption of hybrid rice);
(ii) policy changes (e.g., impact of trade integration in Asia, the Western Hemisphere, or
changes in domestic support policies);
(iii) consumption changes (e.g., impact of changes in population growth and income); and
(iv) weather-related events (e.g., impact of calamities and other weather events).
Furthermore, Riceflow can be used to help in the design of new rice policy and investment. The
models framework can contribute to the design of the program and investment by simulating
alternative scenarios and providing insights into the potential costs and market-related impacts of
the policy and investment. Sensitivity analysis on supply- and demand-related variables are

Rice Model and can be used for forecasting purposes, thus generating baseline projections against
which the medium- and long-term impacts of alternative scenarios can be assessed.
