Rice production will see modest but slowly strengthening growth over the coming years, mainly driven by improved varieties and increased access to inputs. Nevertheless, energy shortages and poor yields - mainly a result of the patchy availability of new varieties of rice seeds - will curtail more impressive increases in production. Across our five-year forecast period to 2022 we continue to see growth in rice production outpacing growth in rice consumption, consolidating the reversal in the hierarchy which took place in our Q218 update. Moreover, we believe the country will remain an important exporter of rice over the medium term.
