Nearly all of this rice is from the South, which typically accounts for 75-80 percent of annual U.S. rice production. Haiti is also a country with significant food insecurity—over 6 million Haitians, or roughly 60 percent of the population, did not meet daily caloric intake standards in 2015. Rice imports —which were negligible prior to 1986 due to quantitative limits on imports—have improved the country’s food situation, increasing per capita calorie availability by about 11 percent PRINT PDF EMAIL

The industry has over 300 years of history in the United States and has shown itself adaptable to changes in technology, regional advantage, export markets, environmental concerns, and consumer taste. Although producing only 1 to 2 percent of the world crop, the United States accounts for 16 to 17 percent of world rice trade. About half the U.S. crop is exported each year to diverse markets in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and Canada. Rice production accounts for less than 1 percent of field crop value in the United States. It is more capital-intensive than other grain crops and rice farms are larger than other grain farms. Production is concentrated in six States. Important factors affecting the future of the U.S. rice industry include: the opening of world markets, environmental legislation, new uses for bypro...

This report provides domestic and international background information on the wheat and rice industries. The 1985 Food Security Act established target prices, loan rates, and acreage reduction programs for both crops. The export enhancement program enabled wheat exports and, to a much smaller extent, rice exports to expand. The marketing loan program was the primary stimulus for rice exports. The situation for both crops improved markedly in 1990 over the situation in 1985. Stocks are down and prices are up. The task for farm legislation in the 1990's is to continue the performance of the wheat and rice markets while addressing other important issues such as environmental quality and grain quality improvement.
