The global milled rice distribution is largely dominated by China and India. As of 2023, China accounts for 258.6 million metric tons (MMT), while India stands at 167.0 MMT. Other notable contributors include Indonesia (39.5 MMT) and Bangladesh (39.16 MMT). Over the last year, notable increases were in Iraq (15.42%) and Kenya (7.7%), while declines were seen in Libya (-17.81%) and Ukraine (-15.9%). The five-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) illustrates varying regional dynamics, with clear growth in developing countries.
In the future, rising demand from African and Middle Eastern countries could shift the global distribution balance, with technological developments in rice farming and a potential evolution in staple diets further influencing trends.
