China Rice Industry 2017-2025

Market Outlook

Globally, 90% production of rice is in Asia, and China is the largest producer of rice. China is expected to have largest year ending rice stock all over the world, estimated to be around 75.7 million tons. China consists of 30 million hectare land area under rice cultivation which as compared to India stands at second position, but the use of advanced agriculture equipment and better irrigation facilities has led China to remain at highest rice producing country. Also China accounts for being the largest consumer of rice. It accounts for around 30% consumption of globally produced rice. China is also one of the major producers of hybrid rice. In 2017 per hectare hybrid rice production dropped on account of flood occurrences but also there has been notable increase in land area producing hybrid rice. Thus the value of hybrid rice produced remains same as it was in 2016. By 2018, China is expected to suffer from over stock of hybrid rice, estimated to be around 120 million kg due to declining domestic demand and lower value of exports as compared to total hybrid rice seed supply.

Goldstein Research analyst forecast that the China rice industry is expected to grow at CAGR of 2.1% over the forecast period. China rice production was estimated at 210 million metric tons in 2017. The factors such as government support in rice production, favorable climatic conditions, rising number of rice processing companies, increasing exports are majorly impacting the growth of China rice industry.

In the era of technology advancement, there is trend of producing genetically modified (GM) rice to ascertain the quality of rice and food security. Though commercially there is no production of GM rice, but many varieties have been approved for commercial production which is expected to boost the China rice industry. Thus China has developed a type of rice that can be grown in saltwater, a forward step towards sustainability.
