In 2023, China led global milled rice consumption, followed by India and then Bangladesh. Key growth areas included India and the Philippines with significant year-on-year increases, while Indonesia saw a minor decline. Emerging growth in African nations like Senegal and Kenya is noticeable, with significant upticks in year-on-year consumption. The United States and Nigeria also contributed positively to global consumption trends. In contrast, countries like Japan, Vietnam, and Brazil showed slight decreases.
Future trends to watch include potential growth from African and Middle-Eastern countries, adapting consumption due to economic changes. Climate impacts on rice production and supply chain disruptions may influence regional trends. Expansion in dietary preferences and government policies towards staple food security are also key considerations.
