In the 2022/2023 crop year, China produced about 146 million metric tons of milled rice, a higher volume than any other country. India came in second place with over 135 million metric tons of milled rice in that crop year.

Milled rice

After the rice is grown and harvested from rice paddies, it undergoes a process to prepare it for human consumption, known as milling. Milling removes the rice husk and bran layers, and the end product is the rice that can be found in your local grocery store or supermarket. The estimated total volume of milled rice produced worldwide reached over 502 million metric tons in the 2022/2023 crop year.

Rice consumption worldwide

The top rice consuming countries are China, India, and Bangladesh in that order. In 2022/2023, China’s rice consumption amounted to over 154 million metric tons. The per capita consumption of rice worldwide has remained remarkably stable since the year 2000, and amounted to about 53.9 kilograms per year in 2018/2019.

Since the crop year 2008/2009, the milled rice production volume has increased by about 55 million metric tons worldwide. In 2024/2025, it is forecast that the global production volume will be about 532.9 million metric tons.

Discover the top rice-producing countries in the world. China takes the lead with an estimated annual production of 146 million metric tons, followed by India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Vietnam. Learn more about the importance of rice cultivation and its role in global food security.

Monitoring the rice market is a critical task considering more than half of the world’s population consume rice on a daily basis. South and East Asia are the two main regions for paddy rice production in the world. China and India are considered as the main producers of paddy rice worldwide. In 2023, India's paddy rice production amounted to over ***** million metric tons, while China's production volume slightly exceeded *** million metric tons. Paddy rice production Paddy or rough rice are the unprocessed rice kernels grown in a flooded or well irrigated field. Paddies require a maintained level of water, around 10 to 15 centimeters, for the growth part and the fields are then dried before harvesting in the sunny season. In the Asia Pacific region, China and India were the leading rice paddy producers, with a significant gap to Bangladesh in third place. Global rice market Global rice consumption has been increasing in accordance with population growth. China and India are the main consumers of rice. As of 2023/2024, the Philippines and China were the main importing countries of rice, while India and Thailand were the main exporters.
