The monsoon rains are essential for growing rice in India, but their inconsistency affects
production
Half of all people in the world, mostly those living in Asia, depend on rice as a staple food, eaten
up to three times a day.But, compared with other food grains, global production of rice has
always been finely balanced against demand, with little surplus traded on the market. As Asian
weather patterns, especially the distribution of monsoon rains, become more erratic due to
climate change, policymakers are concerned about the stability of global rice production and the
long-term welfare of rice farmers and consumers.The International Rice Research Institute
(IRRI), based in the Philippines, is working to develop seeds for new rice varieties that will be
able to resist the kind of climate stresses, such as floods, drought and soil salinity, that are
expected to become more frequent due to global warming.
Flood-resistant rice strains, whose development by the IRRI started in the late 1970s, are already
paying off in India, Bangladesh and Nepal, where millions of farmers now grow rice varieties
that can survive total submergence in water for between 14 and 20 days. Previously popular
high-yielding rice varieties would be destroyed after just four or five days under water.Uma

Rices prices closed lower again today. The market continues to be pressured by yesterday's bearish USDA report
that raised carry out for this year. While a recent pick up in export demand has helped provide support, the market will be
looking for this to conitnue in tomorrow's export sales report. As we approach mid January the market needs to see

To ensure a good crop, rice farmer Peter Draper has to check his vast rice paddies every day in blistering
heat. The summer temperature frequently rises above 40 C. In Australia, farmers plant rice in October
and ship new rice in May. The fact that the seasons in Australia are opposite to those in the Northern
Hemisphere gives Aussie rice a major competitive edge in international markets, Draper said.
Rice
farmers in Australia face a tough challenge. Securing the large amounts of water needed to farm the grain
in a drought-prone country comes at a high cost.
The price of water traded between farmers often
soars due to scant rainfall. A spell of dry weather
forces rice growers to cut back on production.
Rice production in Australia from April through
this coming March is seen plunging 58% to
305,000 tons because of drought, according to an
estimate by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural
and Resource Economics and Sciences. Rice
requires far more water to grow than other
summer cash crops like sorghum and cotton. This puts it at the top of the list of production-cut candidates
during dry weather.
