Markets and Trade

About our work

The FAO Markets and Trade Division collects, analyses and disseminates information on the rice market. The division regularly publishes comprehensive rice market intelligence reports and short-term forecasts of supply, demand, trade, stocks and prices, alongside topical analyses and information on policy developments.  

In addition, the division services the Intergovernmental Group on Rice that provides a forum for intergovernmental consultation and exchange on rice production, consumption, trade and price trends. The group also regularly appraises the global rice market situation and short-term outlook.
