I am interested in growing good things to eat. My interests range from backyard herb gardens to farmers and farming globally. I found this press release from the United Nations reassuring. I wonder about the world food supply and the effect of global warming on the earth. I wonder how many rice farmers in Africa are women. And I love Rice.http://www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/164713/icode/
19 November 2012, Rome - Global rice production for 2012 is forecast to outpace consumption in 2012/13, resulting in an upward revision of 5 million tonnes in 2013 closing inventories, according to a new forecast by FAO's Rice Market Monitor issued today.
"Compared to last year, world rice carryover stocks are expected to rise by 7 percent, or 10 million tonnes, to a new high of almost 170 tonnes, marking the eighth consecutive year of stock accumulation," says the RMM. "As a result, the world rice stock-to-use ratio is forecast to rise from 33.6 percent in 2012 to 35.5 percent in 2013."
