Asia Pacific Rice Market Analysis

The Asia-Pacific Rice Market size is estimated at USD 199.74 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 229.31 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 2.8% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • Rice is a staple for 60% of Asia's population, with the continent responsible for about 90% of the world's rice cultivation and consumption. In Asia-Pacific, rice farming covers over 135 million hectares and employs more than 300 million people. Data from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) highlights China and India as the top global rice producers, accounting for over 50% of the world's output. Other notable contributors include Indonesia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Thailand.
  • Under 7% of the world's rice harvest enters international trade. Thailand, Vietnam, the United States, India, and Pakistan are major exporters in this arena. These nations primarily deal in significantly larger volumes of lower-premium rice. Such varieties predominantly reach tropical developing countries, notably in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. In contrast, wealthier nations focus on importing high-value aromatic rice, with esteemed varieties like Basmati and Thai leading the demand.
  • Rice production in the region grapples with challenges such as water shortages and the impacts of climate change. Elevating rice production in Asia is vital for ensuring food security, meeting the needs of a growing population, and improving farmers' livelihoods. Acknowledging these hurdles, international agricultural agencies are ramping up efforts to bolster regional rice production, focusing on boosting productivity and conserving water. In 2023, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) launched the Atoms4Food initiative, harnessing cutting-edge nuclear techniques to elevate agricultural productivity, guarantee food safety, curtail wastage, enhance nutrition, and address climate change issues. This approach aims to amplify agricultural efficiency while safeguarding soil health. Farmers across multiple Asia-Pacific nations have embraced these technologies, achieving sustainable boosts in both productivity and profitability, thereby broadening the region's rice market.

Asia-Pacific Rice Market News

  • August 2024: ICAR-National Rice Research Institute introduced a new climate-resilient rice variety, ‘CR Dhan 416’ (IET 30201). This variety is set to be pivotal in bolstering food security in areas at risk from climate change. CR Dhan 416 shows moderate resistance to prevalent rice diseases and major pests.
  • June 2024: To bolster food security in eastern Indonesia, the Ministry of Agriculture Indonesia introduced a new rice variety, Cakrabuana Agritan, in the Merauke District of South Papua Province. This climate-resilient variety promises high yields, aligning with the government's urgent push to ramp up rice production amidst a looming global food crisis.
  • June 2024: Researchers in China pinpointed a gene that could revolutionize the production of hybrid rice seeds, allowing for a fully mechanized process. This advancement aims to eliminate the current manual methods, which are both time-consuming and labor-intensive, thus expanding breeding capabilities.
